Deborah Berke Partners is an architecture and interior design firm of more than 60 people who share a goal: to create buildings and spaces that are poised between background and foreground, where the presence of architecture is in a constant balance with the forces of life. Their design work is often described as having a refined, elegant aesthetic, but we like to think of it as being both bold and subtle at the same time. The firm is led by Deborah Berke, her two partners, and eight principals.
For more than 25 years, the firm has completed a diverse body of work that ranges from custom furniture to master planning, and everything in between. They work with individuals, educational institutions, cultural groups, and innovative developers to make private homes, public buildings, facilities for the arts, and distinctive hotels. All of their projects share what they call a “knowing simplicity,” a fine and deliberate crafting rooted in how their clients will inhabit the places they design.
