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.
