Background

About Hillary Degroff

Hillary offers experience in the design of residential living, hospitality, and healthcare projects. A strategic thought leader within Perkins Eastman, she applies her knowledge of sustainable practices and thinking to all scales of work from community master planning to interior repositioning. Hillary has worked with both private developers and non-prot providers, designing unique opportunities for placemaking that allow for experiences and social connection – two elements she feels create a successful environment. Recently, she has developed a strong interest in the convergence of living environments, specically those touching on intergenerational models, and is exploring the concept of intergenerational living communities built into secondary prep schools’ master planning. Hillary holds a curiosity that is ever-present in her research, as well as her design work. This curiosity paired with her own personal experiences is the backbone of her holistic approach to creating environments for people.
