Greg Richardson Williams
Greg approaches architecture as both a conceptual and deeply practical discipline—one rooted in ideas, but ultimately shaped by how people experience space in everyday life. His work is guided by a strong interest in proportion, materiality, and the relationship between architecture and its broader context. Whether designing a new residence or working within an existing structure, he values clarity, restraint, and spaces that feel thoughtful, lasting, and quietly expressive.
He believes successful projects emerge through collaboration, careful observation, and an iterative design process. Greg brings a hands-on approach to each project, balancing big-picture thinking with close attention to detail, construction, and the lived experience of a home.
Greg Richardson Williams earned his Bachelor of Architecture from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Master in Architecture and Urbanism from the Architectural Association’s Design Research Lab in London. In 2004, he was awarded the prestigious SOM Traveling Fellowship, presented annually to one graduating architecture student nationwide for exceptional talent and promise.
His professional experience includes work with Tom Wiscombe at Emergent in Vienna, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in San Francisco and Chicago, and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in London. Across projects in the U.S., U.K., China, the Philippines, the Middle East, and Turkey, Greg has developed a broad perspective that continues to inform his residential work today.
Greg Richardson Williams is a registered architect in Rhode Island and recipient of the 2004 SOM Traveling Fellowship Award.
