Founded in 1965, with studios in Wilkes-Barre, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle, and San Francisco, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson’s six principals and staff of 100+ collaborate and design as one integrated practice. Committed to constantly growing and evolving to better serve our clients, each other, and our planet, we bring a holistic approach to architecture, interior design, planning, and adaptive re-use. Our sustainable, site-specific designs have received more than 800 regional, national, and international awards for design, including four American Institute of Architects (AIA) COTE Top Ten Awards.
