While he began his early architectural practice in residential construction, Gage developed a 3-year architectural energy analysis business during his architectural school helping other architects comply with the new California energy codes.
A few years after graduating from the University of Southern California architecture School, his 30-year architectural career in the San Francisco Bay Area flourished as he specialized in the construction documents and construction administration for numerous fire-proofed, steel-framed buildings including city halls, libraries, animal shelters, commercial retail centers, and large high school campus projects.
Gage’s most recent large project, at a large architecture firm in Berkeley, CA, was the $400M mixed-use urban project Summerlin Center, with 1.2 million square feet of retail, 320,000 square feet of mid-rise office space and parking structure, altogether consisting of about 1,200 tons of steel framing.
