We stopped by Perkins + Will's DC office for its annual celebration. At the noted architecture firm, friends talked about old times and discussed new ventures. We snapped Perkins + Will principal architect Daniel Moore and principal Kendall Wilson surrounding WCB Associates' William Baker.

Partygoers sipped white wine and enjoyed looking at renderings on the walls. Here, Cushman & Wakefield director Jessica Miller, Republic Family of Cos managing director George Cantrell, and Perkins + Will principal interior designer Laura Morris.

Perkins + Will managing director Chris Morrison delivered a pep talk that left people bubbling with encouragement. He's with Silverstein Properties' development manager Serge Demerjain and Perkins+Will architect/project manager Nancy Gribeluk.

We sampled the tandoori and mushroom with crackers, while others dined on pasta. Here, Perkins + Will's marketing director, Susan Merrigan, Jensen Hughes' VP development Jack Brady, and ARUP principal Ray Grill.
