Value proposition

We're a diverse group of designers, architects, and thinkers who put people and experiences first.

JERDE is a global group of innovative pioneers, architects, landscapers, urban planners, and strategists with a collective commitment to design beyond the ordinary. Our worldwide portfolio of Places spans diverse genres, built on the attributes of creativity, experiences, and team culture.

What do we believe in? We have a deep and intrinsic interest in people, rooted in values like curiosity, identity, championing experience, pioneering fresh ideas, and tailoring solutions. While these values embody architecture, they come from a rich, localized approach, and tenacity to pursue the new in an increasingly homogenized world. We desire to use our deep knowledge of retail, leisure, and entertainment spaces to promote experiential qualities in a rapidly changing and digital world.

JERDE has pioneered Placemaking since 1977, and has grown into a multi-disciplinary, international design studio headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Seoul.

The firms expertise has expanded beyond its retail and entertainment roots to include hotels, casinos and resorts; residential complexes; office and commercial facilities; transit-oriented mixed-use hubs; major urban districts; waterfronts; town centers; community plans; and visionary master plans. JERDE’s design talent possesses individual and collective passions about what they do, working closely together to bring a diversity of cultural backgrounds and ideas to continually evolve the global application of JERDE Placemaking. We’re Together.
