Cory Gamblin is an architectural and interior designer with experience across multifamily, workplace, hospitality, and adaptive reuse typologies. He is drawn to design that is grounded in a sense of place and shaped by the people and communities it serves, with a particular interest in how adaptive reuse can extend the life of existing buildings by preserving what makes them meaningful while ensuring they meet the needs of future generations. Cory’s passion for adaptive reuse and community-centered design began with an appreciation for the historic buildings that brought people together in his hometown in the rural Missouri Ozarks. Inspired by the lasting role these places played in everyday life, he pursued his interest in design at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and later Kansas State University, where he earned his Master of Architecture degree.

“We get that lines sketched on paper have a real impact in the world, so we think about consequence a lot. It’s more than the tangible building. It’s what the project does for the people we’re working for. It’s the ability for them to achieve their vision.”

“If you line up the buildings Trivers has executed, they’re all very different in a positive way. All our projects are rooted in ideas and context. It’s very apparent that we’re thinking about a specific project, for a specific client, in a specific location.”
