Led by Managing Director Lawrence Kline, the firm behind American Express’s regional office is shaping the next generation of commercial environments in the region’s fast-evolving financial and corporate sectors
As South Florida’s economy transforms into a global nexus for finance, technology, and corporate innovation, Perkins&Will is at the forefront of designing the spaces where this evolution happens. Under the leadership of Managing Director and Principal Lawrence Klein, the firm is delivering high-performance environments for some of the most influential companies in the region—including American Express and MIAX, which is launching Miami’s first-ever stock exchange.
Perkins&Will’s recent design of American Express’s regional headquarters reimagines the workplace for a post-pandemic era, prioritizing innovation, wellness, and long-term adaptability. Now, with its ongoing work for MIAX, the firm is helping define a new financial future for Miami—blending cutting-edge infrastructure with civic prominence and global market functionality.
“We’re focused on building for what’s next; spaces that not only serve a function but actively support growth, culture and human performance,” said Kline. “The future of South Florida’s economy depends on environments that can flex and evolve as industries do, and we’re proud to help shape that future.”
The firm’s commercial design portfolio includes projects for FPL, Cisneros, L’Oréal and other major corporate clients, blending operational excellence with brand-driven architecture and workplace wellness strategies. With expertise spanning commercial, healthcare, education and public space design, the Miami studio brings a multidisciplinary lens to every project.
Kline also leads the studio’s strong civic mission, driving its investments in pro bono work, supporting affordable housing initiatives, and fostering a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion both internally and across South Florida’s design community.
Kline remains focused on pushing boundaries in design, sustainability and community-driven innovation. With a pulse on both global trends and Miami’s unique identity, Lawrence Kline is not just shaping buildings, he’s shaping a future where design serves people, industry and community alike.
