Block, Principal Architect
Peter
Block, a native of Texas, was born in Dallas in 1959. At the age of 12, he
was exposed to architecture by a family friend and never strayed from his
desire to become an architect.
Peter is a 1982 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin School of
Architecture and is a registered architect in Georgia, North Carolina,
Virginia, Connecticut, Wyoming, and Florida. He is nationally certified
through the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards and is a
member of The Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America.
His experience in design and planning began in Austin, Texas in 1982
where, as an intern architect for Harker Medley & Associates, his joint
work with Charles Harker was published in Designers West, Architecture +
Urbanism, and Austin Homes and Gardens. After 3 years of internship, Peter
worked with Juan Cotera in Austin as the “image designer” for the
buildings of the Capital Metro Transportation Authority Complex, a team
member on the Austin Airport Expansion, and staff architect on various
education complexes. In 1987 Peter moved to Los Angeles, California to
take a senior design position with Vito Cetta Architects, the Randy
Washington Group. By 1989 Peter was director of the design department and
responsible for residences, mid-rises, and communities in California and
Florida.
In 1995, Peter founded Peter Block and Associates Architects, Inc. in
Atlanta, Georgia. Peter leads the office in the design of historically
