About the Company

ParkFowler Plus is a multidisciplinary design studio that works on projects as imaginative—and alongside clients as committed to good architecture—as we are.

We believe that good design is more than innovative technology, though we ceaselessly experiment with methods and materials. We believe it is more than rigorous research, though we are at the forefront of pedagogy and public learning. We believe it is more than composition, though we are indebted to the formal clarity of modernism. More than anything, we believe good design manages to inspire awe, steward resources, and serve communities.


A woman-owned, minority business enterprise, ParkFowler Plus is based in Chicago, with a global portfolio of work in architecture, interiors, and urban design.


The “plus” in our name celebrates the many people, intentions, and experiences that inform a creative practice. It recognizes that design is built on a foundation of mutual trust—a deliberate process of co-creation. And it reminds us that, at its heart, our work adds to the social and built fabric of communities. After all, to create means to grasp for meaning, to struggle, to rejoice, and above all, to be vulnerable. Among clients, partners, and staff, we cultivate trust that makes space for creativity.
