Shaping The Future
Our New York studio is ambitious and forward-thinking. We think globally, celebrate diverse perspectives, and are driven to positively contribute to the vibrant cultural fabric of New York City and the surrounding region. For us, expertise, research, and design are in a constant dialogue. We work with clients and institutions on the leading edge of business, education, science, and technology to test new ideas in an environment that values transformative thinking.
We envisioned our New York studio, located in the NOMAD Tower, as a learning lab–one that can both predict and react to behavioral, cultural and technological change. Allowing for flexible use, fluctuations in occupancy, and the digital integrations necessary for hybrid work, the design informs our discussions with clients looking to adapt their own office spaces post-pandemic.
Robert Clemens has been promoted to Managing Director of our New York studio; Bill Harris moves into an expanded regional role.

Located in Long Island City, InnoLabs is a life sciences facility that proves aging commercial buildings can be re-purposed for modern and highly technical functions, incorporating specialized systems and uses while blending new elements with old.
Perkins&Will worked with client King Street Properties to create a flexible lab space that supports the needs of both commercial life science start-ups and established institutional clients. The success of this strategy is apparent in the leasing success of the building, including the largest life science deal executed in 2022.
“Design is not just building facades; it is fluid, an action and a process. It is asking the right questions and listening,” says Mariana Giraldo, Associate Principal. As the leader of the New York studio design strategies team, Mariana researches, collaborates, and distills project needs into one clear narrative. She feels most fulfilled when data gathering leads to synthesis, dots are connected, and information creates action.
This new office building in New York City’s Greenwich Village provides a prized amenity, private outdoor space directly adjacent to the office floors. 799 Broadway is a 12-story office building that Perkins&Will designed for Columbia Property Trust, opening in 2022. Our approach to Living Design focuses on the well-being of people using our buildings that includes access to the outdoors and nature. 799 Broadway provided unique opportunities to design private outdoor spaces for the tenants that proved to be very popular, especially as tenants returned to the office. The open, flexible interior spaces connect with generous, functional terraces that bring nature inside and extend the workplace outdoors.
Socialize with New York
We’re proud to share that seven projects by Perkins&Will have been nominated for Interior Design’s 2023 Best of Year (BOY) awards, including the New York studio’s work at 799 Broadway, which is a finalist in the Commercial Lobby & Amenity Space category. These awards celebrate the most impactful work from around the world, showcasing the icons of design today and those setting the bar for tomorrow’s innovations. Big congratulations to our client and project team for their well-deserved recognition!

In the latest installment of our #PWFamilyTree series, we’re showcasing Phase 1 of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport Concourse A Expansion. The three-phase expansion works to establish a new architectural identity for the Nation’s 10th busiest airport, while setting it up to handle a projected increase in traffic. The bright and airy space inspires the imagination of passengers, evoking the spirit of flight through its soaring, double-height ceiling, immersive digital artwork, and aviation-inspired architectural detailing. Phase 1 – achieved in partnership with C Design - added nine new gates on a constrained site that was formerly a rental car lot, hemmed in by the airport’s main entry drive, a fuel depot, and a jet taxiway. Wing-shaped aluminum louvers on the exterior of the corridor’s curtain wall provide shading from the morning sun, while at night programmable LEDs integrated within the louvers’ outer edges light up in scintillating displays. The louvers diminish in size as the corridor opens onto the arrivals and departures hall, a two-story space topped by a swooping wing-shaped roof—a new icon for the airport that can be seen by all as they approach the terminal from the main entry drive.

In the new design for the Penguin floors, the base module of the office and personal workstation was consistent with the existing Random House spaces. However, we capitalized on opportunities to update the workplace strategy by opening up the corners to meeting rooms, finding opportunities for breakout, and defining highly branded and functional social and client facing spaces. In the open work areas, offices were removed from the western façade of the building to provide additional natural light to the areas of open workstations and to open up the view to the Hudson river and New Jersey beyond.

After decades of working across sectors in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, we’ve officially arrived! From our new studio in Rittenhouse Square, we’re taking on projects from Center City and Central Pennsylvania to New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and beyond. We’re inspired by Philadelphia’s rich history as the “Cradle of Liberty” and its legacy of tolerance and activism—and we look forward to building on the city’s strong foundation of progress. Leadership of the Perkins&Will Philadelphia studio will include regional managing director Bill Harris; managing director Robert Clemens; and health practice leader Laura Morris.
“A dedicated studio in Philadelphia is a natural next step for us. As a global architecture and design leader, we have already designed some remarkable projects in the city,” says Clemens. “Our new studio will allow Perkins&Will, alongside our partners like the transportation consultants at Nelson\Nygaard, to better serve our existing clients in the region, while also embarking on ambitious new projects across the education, health services, transit, residential, civic, corporate, and commercial markets.” The local Philadelphia practices will closely collaborate with Northeast regional teams in New York, Boston and Washington, D.C., and will leverage the firm’s global expertise to respond to the unique design challenges faced by clients in the greater Philadelphia area.
