We create unity between beauty and purpose, place and environment, innovation and elegance. We believe in permanence, in creating lasting works of architecture that delight the people they serve, that are respectful of the environment, and that create the ultimate unity between form, function and spirit. Here's how we accomplish it:
Our team is comprised of top-caliber design and project management professionals with accomplished career histories across a broad spectrum of projects of nearly every type and scope - from public to private, large-scale to small-scale; hospitality to urban mixed-use; corporate to retail; residential to institutional.
Our studio environment fosters the development of new ideas and fresh thinking; we never stop searching for the perfect solution to every design challenge. And while we're not in it for the awards, a long list of recognitions serves as testament to our design prowess.
Our team draws from a rich diversity of educational, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds for inspiration; within our walls, many points-of-view unite, offering our clients a broad perspective on every challenge.
Our open atmosphere encourages the cross-pollination of ideas, and welcomes the creative contributions of every member of our studio, and especially of our clients.
Our technologic capabilities are leading-edge; no matter where our work takes us, we're able to stay in command, executing at the highest level.
In every design, every drawing, every project, it all comes down to supporting our clients. Peter Fillat is personally involved with all work in the studio. We treat every client as our most important, and every project as our firm's primary mission.
Peter Fillat Architects is an architecture firm with a national portfolio comprised of hospitality, mixed-use and multi-family residential projects. We help clients establish viable design options given their specific aesthetic and spatial needs; oversee all design and construction phases of the project; and implement high-quality design principles and construction materials to create lasting works of architecture.
Peter Fillat Architects was founded in 1992, after principal Peter A. Fillat, AIA, decided to open his own studio where he could more intimately explore design. The studio was known as "Studio Wanda", dubbed such in honor of a high-spirited work group with whom he had previous worked. At Studio Wanda, his goal was to design in harmony with the environment and to create lasting works of architecture - architecture of permanence. In the 1990s, the studio worked on a variety of projects including custom residential and restaurants, expanding its client base and diversifying its portfolio.
The studio has continued to grow over the past 14 years, providing a full range of architectural services for urban, mixed-use development, hospitality, multi-family residential, adaptive re-use, retail, and office projects. Today, PFA focuses on three types of work: hospitality, mixed-use and multi-family. In particular, we are proud to have worked extensively on Baltimore's famous Inner Harbor East and the award-winning Bear Creek Mountain Resort. This is just a taste of our work though, as we are adding new breadth and depth to our portfolio daily.
