Architecture & Design — Since 1935

We design places
that give back more
than they take.

Perkins&Will is a global architecture and design practice working across healthcare, education, workplace, and civic buildings — built around a single measure: leave the site better than we found it.

Approach

Three commitments on every project, regardless of scale.

Not a style — a set of constraints we design inside of, every time.

Regenerative

Give back to the site

Every building is measured against the ecosystem it replaced — water, habitat, and carbon accounted for, not offset.

Human-centered

Designed from the inside

We start with how a nurse moves through a ward or a student moves through a studio, then draw the walls around that.

Evidence-based

Tested, not assumed

Post-occupancy research on our own buildings feeds directly back into how the next one gets drawn.
