For over a decade, John Grinstead has overseen day-to-day project details from conception through client move-in as a senior project manager. He has dedicated much of his time at Workshop/APD to key historical renovation projects, which allow him to delve deeply into design development and creative problem solving within this complex discipline. The first member of Workshop/APD’s Colorado outpost, he has also been instrumental in expanding the firm’s practice in the mountain region and beyond, not only building upon its regional capabilities but ensuring that our team remains on the cutting edge of sustainable design. John deftly manages a growing team, collaborating to ensure that the design intent is perfectly realized, down to the smallest detail. He is constantly inspired by his two children, and nature’s colors, forms and function, and sees architecture as an opportunity to achieve a legacy through the highest form of art. A graduate of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, John holds a Bachelor of Architecture.
