Human by Design
Creative solutions built around the needs of people. We are thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.
We design for people. We design to enhance the human experience and leave a lasting and positive impact on people’s lives and the world we inhabit. It starts and ends with the human being; if everything is design, everything we do is Human by Design.
We believe design is both art and science, analysis combined with ingenuity. Truly creative and sustainable solutions are found when we question assumptions and challenge the status quo, building in the spaces where innovation meets the imagination.
Our practice is global; our work local. And so our size and diversity is our strength we collaborate seamlessly across borders, barriers, and disciplines to connect people and ideas. By listening well and building consensus, we deliver design solutions that exceed expectations.
The best and boldest work comes through true partnership with our clients as we collaborate to achieve their goals. Sometimes that means challenging ourselves, sometimes it requires challenging them. It always means building trusted relationships that stand the test of time.
We design for a sustainable and resilient future. The bond between humans and nature is unbreakable, and we have an inherent responsibility to enhance the health and wellbeing of our people, our communities, and our planet. Embracing the patterns of nature, we strive to uncover the possibilities of design.
Taking our work from concept to reality lies at the heart of our practice there’s no greater reward than implementing a big idea. We deliver design solutions, always of the highest quality, with care and craft. We strive to deliver sustainability imaginatively. Whatever it takes, we deliver.
We are a diverse and complementary collection of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. We challenge ourselves, stretching each other and pushing boundaries together to create a collaborative organization an organism that lives, evolves, and belongs to us all.

Founded in New York City, Perkins Eastman is a global architecture firm that has grown to include 1,100 employees working out of a combined 24 interdisciplinary studios around the world.
An Innovative Approach
From education and healthcare to mixed-use and transit-oriented developments, we design for a sustainable and resilient future, and to enhance the human experience through the built environment. The firm’s professional roster is composed of architects, interior designers, planners, urban designers, landscape architects, graphic designers, construction specification writers, construction administrators, economists, environmental analysts, resiliency experts, traffic and transportation engineers, and several other professional disciplines.
Our practice is founded on the idea that design can have a direct and positive impact on people’s lives. This is achieved through research and innovation, always questioning the status quo, and a tireless effort to understand our clients’ missions
and operations. By focusing on the user experience and drawing on the firm’s vast roster of design and thought leaders the world over, we are uniquely equipped to tackle the most complex of design challenges, no matter how large or small.
With nineteen offices throughout North America and five overseas, located in East and Central Asia, MENA, and South America, our global presence enables us to bring all manner of expertise to the fore when it comes to thoughtful design. Our portfolio comprises work in a wide range of specialized project types: Arts + Culture, Healthcare, Higher Education, Hospitality, Large Scale Mixed-Use, Office + Retail, Planning + Urban Design, Primary + Secondary Education, Residential, Science + Technology, Senior Living, Sports + Exhibition, Transportation + Infrastructure, and Workplace. But looking beyond any single practice area or building type, at the firm’s core is a philosophy of convergence, whereby a diversity of practices, disciplines, and perspectives come together to yield practical and holistic solutions.

“The new academic building with the high ceilings and the roll up [doors] allows us to do a lot of things we can’t do right now. It allows the student to build an actual photovoltaic system, or a wind-powered system or a hybrid go-cart inside, roll it outside, test it and bring it back inside for repairs or reinvention.”
