Peter is Senior Architect and a registered architect in seven states. Peter works with the architectural and interior design teams developing the designs for our clients’ projects and seeing them through to the completion of construction to ensure the client’s vision is fully realized.

Practicing architecture for over three decades, Peter has experience in a wide range of project types including food and beverage, hospitality, residential, retail, corporate, and educational projects both throughout the United States and while living in Barcelona, Spain. This variety gives him a unique perspective on how to approach design solutions while drawing on his diverse project, cultural and life experiences.

Peter is currently serving as the State Director of the AIA Tampa Bay Chapter. He is active in several committees including AIA Tampa Bay & Florida Advocacy Committees and AIA Florida’s Resiliency Committee. Peter lends his expertise as an architect to community programs and organizations in the Tampa Bay area. He is a WELL AP, bringing a health and wellness focus to the end-users in each design.

Peter is also a registered Inspector for the Safety Assessment Program, as a first responder to natural disasters for the purpose of immediate evaluation of any structure’s ability to be re-occupied after the event to safeguard the public.

When Peter is not involved in architecture, he enjoys a wide variety of activities including dancing, languages, playing hockey, gardening and all things Star Wars. Travel and learning about other cultures are his greatest passions.
