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.

Health is about so much more than physical fitness, dietary habits, or disease prevention. It’s about how a person functions at all levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It’s about the brain’s and body’s response to the physical environment, and how that response influences a person’s quality of life. We’re focused on making people’s lives better—holistically—by designing places that promote well-being from the inside out.
The New York Studio congratulates Robert Clemens and Laura Morris on their new leadership roles at Perkins&Will!

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.
“Transit design is not just about moving people; it’s about bringing communities together. Public outreach is so important—businesses and residents need to be considered at every step.”
The new workplace is human centric. It’s about creating a meaningful, experience-driven, resilient workplace… A place where people want to be. A dynamic and responsive environment engages the physical, emotional, intellectual, and aspirational needs of its users.
While the functional aspects of a workplace are ever important, amenities – service-oriented spaces that helps provide comfort, convenience and joy – are increasingly important to support employees dynamic needs throughout the day. From dining areas, fitness centers, and outdoor seating to on site day-care, wellness spaces, and more, amenities transform a workplace into a multi-faceted destination. At Perkins&Will, we recognize the importance of designing an ecosystem that provides employees with amenities that help them not only work their best, but also live their best.
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.
