Human by Design
Creative solutions built around the needs of people. 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.
Perkins Eastman is a leading architecture, urban design, and interior design firm offering programming, planning, design, and strategic planning services. With a network of more than 1,100 professionals across 24 interdisciplinary offices, we collaborate across borders and disciplines to connect people and ideas. Through each of our 18 core practice areas, we design for a sustainable and resilient future, and to enhance the human experience through the built environment.
While our practice is global; our work is 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 and imaginatively. But we deliver — no matter what it takes.

SENIOR LIVING
Senior Living
We use our depth of knowledge, experience, and design expertise not just to design better senior living communities, but to change the perception and experience of aging.
As a recognized innovator in senior living design, Perkins Eastman has spent over four decades at the forefront of reimagining environments for aging populations and the organizations that support them. Led by principal-level architects, our teams bring a strategic, forward-thinking approach to every project, seamlessly blending flexibility, technology, and design excellence. From phased renovations that minimize disruptions to creating entirely new spaces, our work empowers older adults to embrace care and lifestyle solutions that enhance their next chapter of life. Guided by our “Human by Design” ethos, we are proud to transform senior living into a vibrant, personcentered experience.
OUR UNIQUE APPROACH
Strategic Planning: Perkins Eastman’s IDEAS process —Integrating Design, Economics and Assessment into Strategy — is a highly collaborative approach dedicated to strategies that create forward-looking programs, partnerships, and great senior environments. The process is structured to help providers determine ways to develop new opportunities and to create, reposition, and reinvent existing services and strategies for seniors in their community.
Research: Our researchers investigate the ways the built environment is experienced by people. Our NextGen staff create passion projects, using the firm’s scholarship program to take deeper dives into their ideas and explore the impact on

design or create new designs. Our findings support the development of pioneering ideas by challenging assumptions and by testing ideas.
Convergence: Our senior living design teams collaborate with the other practice areas in our firm, including hospitality, healthcare, residential, mixeduse, and education. This convergence of practice areas allows us to challenge the limits of what is traditionally considered senior living, while testing innovation against our depth of experience designing for older adults.
Sustainable Design
The building industry uses more energy than any other single sector, and we realize our tremendous obligation and opportunity to address this challenge. We are signatories of the American Institute of Architects 2030 Commitment, to which we report our entire annual portfolio, and we are developing new initiatives to improve the performance of all our work.
Some of our notable sustainable design projects are:
• Peconic Landing: LEED Platinum
• The Summit at Rockwood: LEED Silver
• Felician Sisters: LEED Gold (the first such senior living renovation in the country)
• Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph: LEED Platinum for Homes (the first to achieve this)
• NewBridge on the Charles: has the Northeast region’s largest geothermal system
