Griffin Enright Architects is an award-winning, Los Angeles–based design firm recognized for innovative institutional, cultural, and residential projects across the U.S. and internationally. Founded by Margaret Griffin, FAIA, and John Enright, FAIA, LEED AP, the practice integrates architecture, urban design, landscape, and interiors to explore new prospects for the built environment. By leveraging strategic thinking, the team transforms overlooked conditions into impactful landmarks, drawing on deep expertise in construction techniques gained over a combined 70 years of experience in the field. Each project reflects meticulous attention to environmental context, building performance potential, the interplay of light and geometry, and the highest level of material craft, detail, and assembly—resulting in spaces that inspire, perform, and enrich the communities they serve. Merging strategic form with sustainable performance, the work dissolves boundaries between building, city, and landscape, offering unexpected ways to experience place. Earning over 90 design awards and accolades, including the American Architecture Award and national and local AIA honors; their projects have been extensively featured in leading publications and exhibitions worldwide. Beyond practice, Griffin and Enright are influential educators, teaching design and technology at SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture), where John has served as Vice Director over the past decade.
