Placemaking is not just the act of designing a project, but rather a multi-faceted approach to creating places for meaningful experiences. For professionals of the Placemaking Studio, it is a transformation of commercial spaces into community places.
The Placemaking Studio of Perkowitz+Ruth Architects emphasizes a unique approach to commercial design founded in our experience in hospitality and entertainment design. Teams focus on creating meaningful places for people and communities, while partnering with clients for commercial success. The Studio’s award-winning portfolio of work features ground-up commercial environments, including retail, office, entertainment and hospitality; repositioning efforts, and mixed-use developments.
