Design for living

The San Francisco studio or Perkins&Will is known for high creativity, collaboration, and research—and for award-winning projects that strengthen communities. Our work reinvigorates urban waterfronts, enhances places for living, humanizes healing environments, and galvanizes workplaces. We’ve even restored some of our city’s greatest architectural icons. Our roots in the local community run deep, and some of the most well-known design professionals in the Bay Area lead our practice. Recently, the award-winning firm Pfau Long Architecture joined us, reinforcing our commitment to designing a better San Francisco and beyond.

Our studio uses design to craft the human experience. We believe in a research-based, interdisciplinary approach that creates sites and buildings focused on the people who inhabit them. Located along San Francisco’s waterfront, we are more than 85 professionals strong with deep Bay Area roots and the resources of a global firm. A community-focused team, we thrive on projects we know contribute to the greater good, and help make a lasting, positive change.
