Peter Williamson is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. A Rhode Island native, he draws upon the history and beauty of the area in which he was raised. Valuing perseverance, exploration, and the intrigue of a challenge, Williamson uses such aspects of the design process to develop solutions that respond not only to context but to those who define it. With sensitivity to the vernacular and an appreciation of culture and history, his work is marked by an understanding of time and place.
