A Living Building in a Historic Structure

We’re currently working in a new Living Building Certified workplace in a 100-year-old former stable. Our clients, partners, and teams gather here to help realize our dreams for a regenerative future—all the while surrounded by the beauty and verdancy of nature.

Turning a Constrained Lot Into Connecticut’s First Living Building

Designed to meet the rigor of the Living Building Challenge, the project is net-positive, all-electric, and deeply biophilic—connecting people to the sound of water, the touch of living plants, and the warmth of daylight. Part workplace, part gallery, part creative retreat, it offers a rare sense of calm and inspiration.

Bainbridge Island may be the smallest studio in the global Perkins&Will community, but the small size of our team by no means limits the scale of our impact. Our expertise in regenerative design allows us to work with many of the largest companies and most prestigious institutions around the world. With a focus on deep green, regenerative transformations, we’re actively sought out for our strategic thinking around all aspects of sustainability, world-class design, and social impact.

Big things are in store for our team, as the construction of the McCall Field Campus dining hall project officially kicked off this month! Slated for completion in Fall 2027, this Living Building project will provide a beautiful new dining space for the university campus nestled below the ponderosa pines alongside Payette Lake. Stay tuned for updates in the coming months as progress continues on this exciting project.
