Guillermo González, LEED® AP

After graduating with a Masters in Fine Art from the University of Arizona, Guillermo returned to graduate school to obtain a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Following his completion of coursework in December 1999, Guillermo moved to Santa Barbara and joined Van Atta Associates. Guillermo’s work as an Artist explored the relationship between human-built space and the natural surroundings in search of a balance. This relationship continues to be a major focus in his work as a Landscape designer. His previous experiences with natural and artificial light, materials, color and space had proved to be a great asset. Some selected projects in which Guillermo has participated while working for Van Atta Associates include: USD Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, San Diego, California; USD Science Center, San Diego, California; Ojai’s Newest Park, Ojai, California; Pelican Park, Isla Vista, California; and UCSB Lagoon Park, Santa Barbara, California.
