Peter Zimmerman Architects was founded in 1982 as a full service residential design firm located on Philadelphia’s Main Line. (The) firm’s 28 year history has produced an extensive portfolio of award winning private residences, barns, guest houses, pool houses, conservation easements, comprehensive property designs, private wineries, and equestrian centers across the country. Peter Zimmerman Architects’ design philosophy is deeply rooted in the historic traditions of architecture: classical proportion and scale, the balance of shadow and light, and the importance of the sustainable relationship between materials.

All of (the firm's) designs focus on the seamless integration between the built and natural environment, while remaining faithful to historic roots and responding sensitively to the surrounding cultural context.
