What Abramson Architects does

Abramson Architects is a Los Angeles–based architecture firm specializing in healthcare facility design, with a stated focus on creating intelligent, healing-oriented built environments. Founded by Trevor Abramson, the firm designs hospitals, medical office buildings, and related healthcare spaces that integrate medical infrastructure requirements with patient-centered and therapeutic design principles. Its core offering is project-based architectural services delivered on a quote-based fee model rather than standardized pricing, with clients drawn primarily from the healthcare and medical facilities vertical.

In September 2023, Abramson Architects acquired Moon Mayoras Architects, a San Diego–based architecture practice, extending its presence in Southern California and broadening its design capacity. Later in 2023, Abramson was itself acquired by Perkins&Will, a global design firm, and now operates as the Perkins&Will Los Angeles studio while retaining the Abramson brand identity. As part of Perkins&Will, the firm combines its localized healthcare specialization with access to the parent firm's global resources, multidisciplinary expertise, and broader client network.

The firm employs between 11 and 50 people and operates within the United States, with a California-focused geographic footprint and an implied global reach through its parent affiliation. Revenue, pricing details beyond the quote-based model, named customers, and management composition beyond the founder are not disclosed in the available source data. No technology platform, proprietary tooling, or AI/ML capability is referenced in the source material.
