Our firm has undergone some changes these past five years. The pandemic forced change on everyone. Some for the good and some not so good. The time since, we have doubled down on our values and our responsibility to our clients and the public. To me, the challenge and crisis of those years highlighted the importance of the basic things that we perhaps took for granted or at least for which we showed a disproportionate level of gratitude.
We hold aspects of our living environment in even higher regard or with better awareness than before: high air quality, abundant sunlight, minimal-to-no processed food, good sleep hygiene, prioritized exercise with recovery, touch, in-person communication.
Things have become more difficult in the past five years. Housing and food are more expensive among many, many other things. The haves and have-nots are further away. Our time is more divided and our passwords list has exponentially lengthened. Within that spirit, we’ve decided to simplify on things we can control. Peabody | Fine Architects is now PFA.
