GRACE DESIGN STUDIOS, LLC

GRACE HEBERT CURTIS ARCHITECTS, LLC specializes in comprehensive engineering services for Department of Defense facilities, delivering design, commissioning, and infrastructure modernization solutions for mission-critical military installations. The firm’s technical expertise spans sanitary sewer system rehabilitation, facility inspections for hazardous material containment, and the commissioning of complex building systems—including powertrain machining facilities, police stations, and emergency operations centers. Their work consistently involves adaptive reuse and renovation of legacy naval and Army infrastructure, with deep familiarity in Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) standards, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) protocols, and facility commissioning frameworks such as ASHRAE and IECC. A key differentiator is their ability to integrate design intent with operational readiness, ensuring newly constructed or retrofitted facilities meet stringent DoD performance, safety, and sustainability benchmarks. The contractor maintains a sustained and focused relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering engineering services across multiple service branches including the Navy, Army, and Marine Corps. Their portfolio includes projects at Naval Air Stations, Marine Corps bases, and USACE regional operations centers, demonstrating consistent engagement with military installation commanders and facility management teams. Work is typically executed under task orders tied to broader acquisition vehicles, indicating trusted, repeat-client status within the defense infrastructure lifecycle. Primary industry focus is on NAICS 541330—Engineering Services—where the firm operates at the intersection of architectural design and civil/mechanical systems integration. Their vertical specialization lies in military and federal facility modernization, particularly in naval and aviation infrastructure, with recurring work in environmental compliance, utility system upgrades, and building commissioning for high-reliability environments. As a privately held entity based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, GRACE HEBERT CURTIS ARCHITECTS, LLC operates without federal certifications but maintains a targeted geographic footprint aligned with DoD regional engineering hubs. The firm positions itself as a niche provider of technical precision in defense infrastructure, leveraging local presence and institutional knowledge to support long-term facility resilience across the Gulf Coast and Southeastern defense corridors.
