We are an architectural design firm that creates physical solutions for specific clients’ needs at every scale. For over 12 years, principals Jeff Parsons and Manuel Fernandez-Casteleiro have transformed a unique and creative design sensitivity into a finely tuned, rigorous, and thoroughly integrated approach to building; one that continuously analyzes, interprets, and evaluates design, program, and cost options with the client during all phases of the design process.

 

P+FC’s projects range in scale from master plans to institutional, corporate, commercial, and residential designs in more than a dozen countries. Our innovative and carefully executed projects utilize contemporary technology, materials, and building techniques, encouraging an extraordinary amount of professional experimentation and engendering a practice that is at once innovative and pragmatic.

P+FC is an architectural firm made up of a diverse group of professionals experienced in all facets of architectural design including interiors, landscape, urban design and master planning. This broad training in design provides the firm’s foundation for the rigorous and disciplined approach applied to each and every project.

 

Despite having accumulated a seventeen year roster of recognizable clients, Jeff Parsons and Manuel Fernandez remain focused on cultivating content, quality and integrity of thought - properties essential to good design - as the overall goal for P+FC. The firm is and has always been organized around a studio concept, where each project is subjected to open critiques and innovation is nurtured through the constant communication and exchange of ideas.

 

P+FC believes authentic design should not consist of another idea resurrected from the past. The firm’s designs are not loud or obvious; they are derived from solving clients’ specific problems and coming up with unique solutions. The firm is obsessed with making designs that work down to their individual pieces of hardware yet, as P+FC continues to demonstrate with its many design awards and both national and international publications, such pragmatism does not have to come at the expense of poetry.
