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.
