“I am honored to recommend Robert (Bob) Gdowski. Bob joined me in the Shanghai office of BBG-BBGM in 2011, after a two year search to find the right person to lead BBG-BBGM’s exemplary architectural practice in the Asia hospitality architectural market. As Managing Director, I was seeking an architect passionate about the design of hospitality experiences, not just someone who knew hotel design. I was seeking someone who was not only a designer, but who also had a strategic attitude towards business development. When I met Bob, my search ended. As an architect, Bob has a comprehensive understanding of design and development in the hospitality industry: from integrated resorts, to mixed use, to stand alone hotels to hotel branding. His expertise, when combined with his analytical skills, brings to each project the knowledge and intuitive insight required for a successful development. His expertise, and collaborative approach, ensures that the designs created provide the facilities Operators need to make money for the Owners and Developers; without losing sight of the market’s continual, and ever changing, demand for unique guest experiences. Bob is a professional, with tireless dedication to being the best and doing the best. He constantly strives for quality and clarity to ensure that expectations are met, if not exceeded. He puts the needs of the Clients and Operators first, even if it means delivering an unpleasant message. With this, he has continually earned the respect of our Clients and Operators. Bob is a very good mentor and a respected co-worker. The quality he demands of himself, also defined his expectation of his co-workers, who quickly learned that when working with Bob, they would grow professionally. We all flourish in an environment of mutual respect and Bob is no different. Communication is one of Bob’s great strengths. From the simplest email to the most elaborate presentations, Bob clearly and appropriately crafted the message to be delivered. Bob oversaw design presentations to ensure the intent was delivered with the most impact both graphically and verbally. His verbal presentations are commanding and memorable. In short, Bob knows hospitality. He is exceptional. I highly recommend him. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you require additional information. Julia Monk ”
