Can't wait to share this chat with Glen Coben with you!

In April 2000, Glen Coben opened his architecture and design firm, Glen & Company in order to provide customized designs that realize a client's vision while also engaging their customers. There is a trend in the market towards collaborative design that enhances a guest experience while reinforcing a brand's core values. Coben's successful projects demonstrate that brands can integrate into the lives of their customers, but it needs to be in a seamless way that adds to the experience.

Glen & Company's projects span continents and include the design of many hotels, restaurants, retail stores and residential projects, and the hospitality and design communities have recognized Glen's hospitality design and leadership acumen on multiple occasions. Glen has partnered with most of the global brands.

Glen & Company projects have been featured in Hospitality Design, Metropolis, Interior Design, and Architectural Digest and have been cited in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. His firm's design for Romera Restaurant was nominated for a James Beard Award in 2011, considered to be the Academy Awards for the restaurant world!
