Peter Marino (born 1949) is an American architect and Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He is the principal of Peter Marino Architect PLLC, an architecture and design firm which he founded in 1978. The firm is based in New York City with 160 employees and offices in Philadelphia and Southampton.
Marino earned a degree from the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.
Marino began his architectural career working for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, George Nelson, and I.M. Pei. In 1978, Andy Warhol hired him to do a renovation project for his townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the third incarnation of Warhol's Factory at 860 Broadway. His work for Warhol led to residential commissions from clients in the art world as well as the European aristocracy.
In 1985, the Pressman family, who owned Barneys New York at the time, hired Marino to design the women's retail concept for the department store. This was Marino’s first retail project, which led to his designing 17 freestanding Barneys department stores in the U.S. and Japan between 1986 and 1993. Marino's work for Barneys put him in contact with other fashion designers for whom he went on to design boutiques, such as Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Ermenegildo Zegna and Fendi, and eventually Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton.
