DESIGN POWERED BY TECHNOLOGY Although rooted in cultural values, G70 is a highly modern, technologically sophisticated practice. The firm has evolved from hand drafting to CAD to advanced BIM modeling, supported by cloudbased systems and international production teams. Collaboration stretches across California, the Philippines, and Indonesia, enabling a near-24-hour workflow.“When it’s 3 p.m. here, it’s 8 a.m. for them,” Miki explains. “Technology makes it easier to share project information from the cloud.” G70’s Indonesian and Philippine partners execute much of the firm’s BIM modeling, while the Hawai‘i team guides design, planning and technical production. When it comes to artificial intelligence, the firm remains intentionally cautious. Many projects involve confidential information, sensitive community consultations, and proprietary data. This deliberate approach reflects the firm’s dual commitment to innovation and responsibility. SHAPING SPACES THAT CONNECT US As G70 steps confidently into its next chapter, the firm remains anchored by its core values of faith, collaboration, cultural respect, sustainability, and community impact. With Miki and the 15 Principal strong leadership team guiding its future, G70 is positioned to navigate Hawai‘i’s most pressing design challenges while continuing to honor its past. “We want people to experience beautiful connection— to each other, and to the special uniqueness of each place,” Miki says. “That’s what makes our work meaningful.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Randolph H.
