Practice
Perkins Eastman started with a focus on senior living and healthcare design. Perkins Eastman’s practice in senior living started with The Jewish Homes in Miami, which hired the firm to design six additional buildings for its facility. This client also referred the firm to the Morse Geriatric Center, the Jewish home of West Palm Beach, where Perkins Eastman refined what is now the widely used bi-axial room. These projects were widely published and visited by other sponsors, which led to projects that formed the foundation of the Pittsburgh office and contributed to the firm’s growing national reputation in the field of senior living.
With Woodside Place (1991) in
Internationally, Perkins Eastman has completed several CCRC complexes in Japan, including Sun City Takatsuki (2001), Sun City Yokahama (2001), Sun City Kashiwa (2003), and Sun City Ginza East (2006).
One of Perkins Eastman’s first projects, New York Foundling Hospital (1998), helped launch the firm’s healthcare practice. This practice grew significantly in 1996, when the firm began to work with one of its most important clients,
Over the years, the firm broadened its range to include expertise in several other practice areas, including: housing, higher education, hospitality, primary and secondary education, public, office and mixed-use, hospitality, corporate interiors, research, religious and cultural facilities, and urban design. The firm currently has projects in all practice areas in more than 40 states and 25 countries.
Housing
Canterbury Green (1987), a highly visible mixed-use project that contained the first new rental housing units in downtown Stamford, Connecticut, gave the firm its start in the housing market, as it received several design and planning awards. The firm continued to grow this practice area by completing a variety of housing projects, ranging from affordable housing projects to high-end residences. Currently, the firm is engaged with large-scale housing projects, like Avalon Riverview (2002), a project in Queens with more than 800 rental units along the East River opposite the
