HISTORY

Peter Fillat Architects was formed in 1992. Originally named ‘Studio Wanda,’ Peter Fillat formed his own studio in order to more intimately explore design. With several years of experience designing luxury hospitality projects Mr. Fillat worked to create a practice focused on creatively approaching problems in order to find unique and innovative solutions.

In the early years, the studio worked on a variety of projects including custom residences and restaurants, at the same time we continued to expand our client base and diversify our portfolio. The studio has continued to grow over the years, providing a full range of architectural services for urban, mixed-use development, hospitality, multi-family residential, adaptive re-use, retail, and office projects.
