Perkins&Will, an interdisciplinary, research-based architecture and design firm, was founded in 1935 on the belief that design has the power to transform lives. Guided by its core values—design excellence, diversity and inclusion, living design, research, resilience, social purpose, sustainability, and well-being—the firm is committed to designing a better, more beautiful world. Smoke Architecture is Anishinaabeg owned and operated. Providing complete architectural services since 2014, they focus on First Nation and Indigenous projects. Their clients, guided by Elders and community leaders, hold millenia of expertise on how and what to build in our traditional territories.
