Renamed Pelli Clarke & Partners Remains Renowned NE Architecture Firm

New Haven, CT-based Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects has been renamed to Pelli Clarke & Partners. Fred Clarke and Rafael Pelli along with ten additional partners will lead Pelli Clarke & Partners.

Pelli Clarke & Partners is known for designing some of the world’s most iconic buildings, including the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the International Finance Center in Hong Kong and Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco.

Founded by Cesar Pelli with partners Fred Clarke and Diana Balmori in 1977, the firm began its legacy as Cesar Pelli & Associates at its first office in New Haven, CT – the location that remains its flagship office today. In 2000, Rafael Pelli established the New York office. In recognition of the significant contributions of its senior designers, the firm name became Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects in 2005. Over the next two decades, the firm further developed its international scope with offices in Tokyo, Shanghai and, most recently, Shenzhen in 2020.
