Perkins Eastman is a global design practice founded on the belief that design has the power to enhance people’s lives and safeguard the environment. With 1,000 professionals across twenty-six multidisciplinary studios worldwide, our Human by Design philosophy places people at the center of every solution. This approach has guided the firm for forty-five years and produced sustainable environments that respond to complex needs. Transforming challenges into opportunities, we connect people with their surroundings and each other—creating meaningful places that uplift clients and communities.

With our origins in Oregon, attention to craft and beauty is elemental to the ZGF culture. A deep respect for the built environment evolved from reverence for the surrounding natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest landscape and a commitment to stewardship of the natural environment. Rather than reflecting a signature style, our work is derived from the particulars of the climate, context, and the human experience. The instinct to build community, making places where people come together for a common purpose, is central to our work. Evolving from a single office with strong regional roots to a firm with seven offices across North America and 750+ staff, ZGF's national reputation was honored with the American Institute of Architects' Architecture Firm Award, recognizing the firm’s “high standards, humanistic concerns, and unique ability to capture the spirit of a place and the aspirations of its inhabitants.”

A global collective of architects, designers, engineers, and planners building a better future.
