WHO WE ARE
Discriminating clients in art, education, business, and culture turn to Frederick Fisher and Partners (FF&P) for architecture that brings clarity, purpose, and delight to modern life. Museums and galleries, educational facilities, libraries, restaurants, urban plans and parks, community spaces, mixed-use developments, live-work environments, and private residences created by FF&P are re
cognized for their rigor, beauty, and authenticity. Guided by the four pillars of process, context, function, and aesthetics, FF&P’s long-time partners—Frederick Fisher, Joseph Coriaty, AIA, and David Ross—approach projects as collaborations with clients, stakeholders, consultants, and builders. They engender trust in the careful stewardship of their clients’ resources, vision, and intent. Local context and global sustainability set the framework for architecture, interior design, urban planning, and exhibition design for such clients as the Annenberg Foundation, Princeton University, Huntington Library, Broad Art Foundation, Colby College, Caltech, and Houston’s Restaurants, among others. Through adaptive re-use, LEED accreditation, and continuously exploring and refining the use of materials and systems, FF&P brings creativity and responsibility to design. This award-winning firm offers high design with high delivery of sophisticated, buildable, and community-oriented spaces with a relentless drive toward simplicity and directness. Art spaces heighten the aesthetic experience of the work they exhibit. Educational spaces reflect their missions with intellect and innovation. Dwelling spaces are comfortable and collaborative. Public spaces are contextual as well as surprising. While based in Los Angeles, FF&P creates projects in Berlin, Tokyo, New York, Hawaii, Michigan, Ohio, and New Jersey, Maine, Virginia, as well as throughout the state of California. Frederick Fisher and Partners contemporary work transcends scale—imparting calm, warmth, and intimacy, whether in a private art studio or a state museum. As Los Angeles Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne has written, FF&P’s “architecture has a role in resolving the complexities of culture, not necessarily dramatizing them.”
