LOS ANGELES—Abramson Architects, a Southern California practice known for its entrepreneurial spirit and hands-on approach to design, has joined global architecture and design firm Perkins&Will. The merger closed August 29.
“Together, we create a rare synthesis of design excellence, research rigor, and cross-sector experience,” says Trevor Abramson, FAIA, who founded his eponymous practice in Los Angeles in 1987 and expanded it into San Diego in 2023. “Our combined strengths and complementary skills empower us to pursue more complex, ambitious projects and positively impact community on both the urban and human scale.”
Abramson Architects’ portfolio spans commercial, cultural, healthcare, and residential work across greater LA and San Diego, as well as internationally. It includes such projects as Platform, a mixed-use art and design quarter in Culver City; Synapse, an immersive creative office space in Culver City’s tech corridor; The Aaron Milken Center, an early childhood educational campus in LA; the Lucy Curci Cancer Center in Rancho Mirage; and Dolphin Marina Apartments in Marina del Rey. The firm has won more than 10 awards from the LA chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and one national AIA honor award—for the First Presbyterian Church of Encino.
