At Glosten, we like to say that we’ll design “anything that floats.” That includes floating golf greens, rotating research platforms, and a wide variety of vessels in-between. That curiosity extends to unconventional studies and analyses. Our engineers and designers thrive on unique, one-of-a-kind problems – the harder, the better.
