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.

OUR UNIQUE
APPROACH
IDEAS Process
Perkins Eastman IDEAS is a proprietary process— Integrating Design, Economics and Assessment into Strategy that uses workshops to combine design, marketing, and financial feasibility to quickly create consensus around an organization’s strategy before significant investment.
Strategies
Perkins Eastman Strategies engages our clients in a collaborative process that links their goals and visions with a roadmap for present and future decision-making.
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, mixed-use, 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.
Collaboration
Our process is structured around collaborating with our clients and collaborating with other professionals on the project, including contractors, engineers, project managers, financial advisors, fundraisers, and development managers. We have served in many roles on project teams, from consultant to design architect to executive architect. The planning phase of our engagements focuses on philosophical goals, explores alternatives, and builds consensus around a shared direction. We emphasize active participation, conscientious listening, and comprehensive documentation with our clients.
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
