About the Firm: Peterson Rich Office (PRO) is a Brooklyn-based architecture and design firm recognized for its cultural and publicly engaged projects at multiple scales. Founded by Miriam Peterson and Nathan Rich in 2012, the firm’s early work included an artist studio for Tula Telfair and flagships for PERROTIN and Glossier in New York City.

In recent years, PRO has selectively taken on new projects to expand the firm’s body of work in the cultural, residential and community realms, including the Davison Art Gallery at Wesleyan University; ‘The Shepherd’; artist studios for Nina Chanel Abney and Zaria Forman; a bookstore and community space on the Lower East Side; a retail space for The Row in Nordstrom Fashion Valley; and several New York City Housing Authority properties. Earlier this month, PRO completed the Mandala Lab at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City, an immersive cultural and healing space for adults and kids alike that brings five surprising, imaginative, and playful installations and activities to help visitors identify difficult emotions and offer pathways to develop calmness and connection.
