Guiding Principles

Guiding Principles

We are Perkins Eastman.

Working closely with clients and collaborators, we identify mutual goals, build trusting relationships, and discover solutions for any scale—always keeping people at the heart of what we do.

Our Guiding Principles:

  • Design is our passion and our purpose.
  • Our work is collaborative; everyone plays an important part in its creation.
  • We start with sustainability. Our humanity is intrinsically linked to our place in the world.
  • We all share a responsibility to our clients, our teams, and our work.
  • We are curious and foster an atmosphere of continuous learning.
  • We celebrate the uniqueness of each individual; our diversity is our strength.
  • We are all ambassadors of our projects, stories, and knowledge.
  • We go above and beyond for each other, our clients, and our communities.
  • We treat everyone with respect, dignity, and humanity.
  • We inspire each other to make the world better.

Staying mindful of environmental, technological, economic, and social shifts, we strive to leave a lasting positive impact on people’s lives and the world we inhabit. We design to enhance day-to-day experiences and once-in-a-lifetime moments. If everything is design, everything we do is human by design.
