Stacie Wong is a Principal at GLUCK+. Named by Fast Company as a
top 10 most innovative companies in architecture, the firm is
recognized for Architect Led Design Build. Stacie’s considerable
design and construction experience began 26 years ago with the
Yale Building Project's design-build of a single-family residence
in New Haven. Ever since, she has been involved in educational,
commercial and residential work across the United States. Stacie
brings expertise in leading strategic planning, research,
programming, and community stakeholder engagement with private
and public institutional clients, as well as stewarding the
design and construction for the successful completion of many
technically complex projects. She has been an advocate for
architects’ involvement in construction to increase their agency
in the building process and impact on the design of the physical
environment, including features in Metropolis Magazine,
Wallpaper* and Architectural Design (UK). Notable award-winning
projects include ONStage at Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York
City, Pilkey Lab, a LEED Gold science research building for Duke
University Marine Laboratory on their coastal campus; Artist
Retreat in Upstate New York; and The East Harlem School in New
York City. Current projects in progress include Van Sinderen

New York's campus in Harlem. Stacie received her Bachelor of Arts
in Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley and
a Master of Architecture from Yale University.
