Founded in 2011, Perkins Eastman DC (PEDC) was formed by a group of like-minded designers dedicated to the District of Columbia's urban core. Tapping into a tradition of community design dating back to the 1950's, our dynamic practice is committed to preserving, innovating, and providing positive change through design in Washington, DC. Our teams have been at the forefront of new developments in the field of education and community design for more than two decades both locally and abroad. With expertise in architecture, master planning, urban design, historic preservation, and adaptive reuse, we are able to assist our communities on a comprehensive range of projects. From The Wharf at Southeast waterfront, to the new Cleveland Park Library in Ward 3, to the reinvention of Roosevelt Senior High School, our comprehensive and future-oriented approach to community and design enables us to create a flexible, stronger, and a more resilient environment for our city. We are Perkins Eastman DC.
