Peterson Rich Office is a Brooklyn-based architecture and design practice recognized for its cultural, publicly engaged, and social impact projects at multiple scales. Since establishing their firm in 2014, principals Miriam Peterson and Nathan Rich have led a diverse team in realizing projects for leading clients in the cultural, residential, retail, and public sectors including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Shepherd Arts Center in Detroit, and the Pruzan Art Center at Wesleyan University.
Our work with these foremost cultural institutions is focused primarily on enlivening the public realm, improving access and amenities, and introducing functional and flexible exhibition space. Through an ongoing 8-year partnership with the New York City Housing Authority PRO creates and conducts inclusive community design exercises that provide critical insights and recommendations aimed at helping to improve the country’s largest public housing program and is currently working to shepherd design excellence for NYCHA renovations across all five boroughs.
These projects have situated PRO at the forefront of a movement aimed at adapting established institutions to 21st-century needs.
PRO is a certified Women Owned Business Enterprise (WBE).
