Perkins + Will acquires Guenther 5 Architects
Perkins+Will, an international design firm, is acquiring Guenther 5 Architects, according to Robin Guenther, FAIA, founding principal of Guenther 5 Architects in New York, and Phil Harrison, AIA, CEO of Perkins+Will.
The purchase of Guenther 5 expands Perkins+Will's substantial healthcare practice that includes clients such as Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital by adding Guenther's strong healthcare portfolio of New York-based clients. For her part, Guenther will have a larger and more formidable "home base" as she practices architecture, lectures and advocates - nationally and internationally - for heightened environmental responsibility in the built environment, particularly in the healthcare sector.
"Perkins+Will is committed to the design of innovative and sustainable buildings and interiors, and demonstrates an active, leadership role in sustainable architecture. Our goal remains the same: to transform healthcare environments," said Guenther.
The transaction, details of which were not disclosed, comes as the latest in a series of acquisitions for Perkins+Will: this being the 16th over the last twelve years. It is consistent with Perkins+Will's strategy of acquiring firms known for their strong principles, distinctive identities and overall excellence.
