Peter is known for his community-based city planning, development, and design work. He is a champion of “social conscious” and diversity in design and supports neighborhood revitalization efforts across Chicago. His work with the firm has won numerous design awards, including multiple AIA Chicago Distinguished Building Awards and Devine Detail Awards and four Richard H.
