Pei Cobb Freed & Partners is an international architectural firm based in New York City. Across six decades of practice, we have produced an exceptionally diverse portfolio of work—in scale, program, purpose, and expression. We are widely recognized for our commitment to craft, our sophisticated sense of form, our attention to shaping the public realm, and our ability to navigate complex projects and sensitive contexts.

Our work is motivated by a commitment to the craft of building. We believe thoughtful use of materials and careful attention to detail are indispensable to creating a meaningful and responsible built environment. Our highly regarded in-house building enclosure expertise is central to this endeavor, as is our integrated approach to sustainability—joining context, culture, and climate with detailed knowledge of material technologies, building systems, and development strategies.

Our approach is guided by a dedication to the art of place making. We draw inspiration above all else from program, place, and people, seeking to create built environments that nurture and enrich the daily lives of individuals, communities, and institutions. Our record of success comes from our ability to envision works of architecture that thoroughly reflect their clients’ aspirations, eloquently respond to their contexts, and actively engage their users and communities—and from our proficiency in communicating the principles and benefits of our design proposals to diverse stakeholders.
