The studio
Mark R. Peters is principal and founder of Studio Dwell Architects. With over 20 years experience, Mr. Peters believes in maintaining quality design and focus for every project. The firm gives emphasis to the exploration of materials, both common and innovative, in order to create unique spaces with unique experiences.
Studio Dwell Architects believes in the quality of space created with simple forms and light, to encourage people to experience architecture, not just walk within it. Projects ranging from rehab work to gound-up construction are entirely within the scope of work we are capable of.
