Puchlik Design Associates (PDA), an award-winning architecture firm headquartered in Pasadena, CA and specializing in healthcare facility design, merged with HED and joins their Los Angeles team. The merger will add to HED's healthcare reputation in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco.
“Bringing in PDA was a natural step towards deepening our commitment to southern California and to our expansive set of healthcare clients to provide greater, nationwide service." noted Peter Devereaux, FAIA, HED's Chief Executive Officer. "Our firm will always seek out methods to provide greater depth and nuance in our services to our clients. This is especially important in technically complex, mission-driven sectors like healthcare, which stand to create the greatest impact for our communities. By bringing PDA into the HED family we are continuing our commitment to design excellence and creating positive impact for our clients and communities. "
“We believe that this merger is one of complementary cultures,” says Gerry Puchlik, Principal of PDA, “Like PDA, HED advocates that the role of the designer is to directly and positively impact end users, and they seek to produce designs that create this positive impact for clients and communities through deliberate decision making that contributes to care delivery, health, and wellbeing of the people who inhabit these spaces. I can’t imagine a better fit for the future of our talented team.”
