Practice Ideology
Founded in 2005, Studio Dwell Architects is a full-service architecture firm in Chicago that is made up of a tightly-knit group of designers dedicated to the production of exceptional architecture. Studio Dwell mixes modernist aesthetics with real-world sensibilities, ultimately creating unique spaces that evoke the beauty of built form without the sterility associated with minimalism.
Principal Mark Peters has developed a design process at Studio Dwell that prioritizes user experience and interaction. The firm believes that quality spaces are created with careful restraint in the use of simple forms and light, paired with the goal of encouraging people to experience architecture.
Adherence to high standards has brought significant recognition to Studio Dwell. Their buildings have won awards from industry leaders like the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Residential Architect, and Architectural Record.
