Peter Marino (born 1949) is an American architect and Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He is the principal of Peter Marino Architect PLLC, an architecture and design firm which he founded in 1978. The firm is based in New York City with 160 employees and offices in Philadelphia and Southampton.[1]

Education and career

Marino earned a degree from the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.[2]

Marino began his architectural career working for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; George Nelson; and I.M. Pei.[3] In 1978, Andy Warhol hired him to do a renovation project for his townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the third incarnation of Warhol's Factory at 860 Broadway.[4][3][2] His work for Warhol led to residential commissions from clients in the art world as well as the European aristocracy.[3][5]

In the mid 1980s, the Pressman family, who owned Barneys New York at the time, hired Marino to design the women's retail concept for the department store.[2] This was Marino’s first retail project, which led to his designing 17 freestanding Barneys department stores in the U.S. and Japan between 1986 and 1993.[6][7] Marino's work for Barneys put him in contact with other fashion designers for whom he went on to design boutiques, such as Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Ermenegildo Zegna and Fendi, and eventually Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton.[7][2]

In 2012, Marino was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French Ministry of Culture in recognition of his significant contributions to the arts in France.[8]

Marino has said in 2013 that his firm employed about 180 people, and that boutiques accounted for about 40% of the company's business.[7]

Personal life

Marino is married to the costume designer Jane Trapnell; the couple have a daughter.[7] Marino is an art collector; collecting French porcelain, contemporary paintings and, French and Italian bronzes from the mid 16th to the mid 18th century. Marino's collection of bronzes was displayed at London's Wallace Collection in 2010.[9]
