The firm’s history is connected to the architectural practice that began in Wichita in 1919. TESSERE explains that the name represents the idea of weaving together designers, clients, consultants, and project visions to create built environments. The company officially transitioned from GLMV Architecture to TESSERE as part of its evolution and expansion of services.

TESSERE’s Wichita headquarters itself reflects this history. The firm renovated a 1931 Packard automobile dealership into a 30,000-square-foot headquarters, combining historic preservation with contemporary design and achieving LEED Silver certification.
