Peter Marino
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 was born and raised in Queens, New York. He played the piano until the age of 14. He began drawing as child and took special art classes. He received a gold medal from Mayor Lindsey for a painting he did in 1966.
Marino graduated at the age of 16 from Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Marino earned a degree from the Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning in 1971.
Marino began his architectural career working for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, George Nelson, and I.M. Pei.
Marino met Andy Warhol and his entourage through his girlfriend Pat Hackett, who was Warhol's secretary. When Warhol moved to a townhouse at 57 East 66th Street in Manhattan, his business manager Fred Hughes moved into his brownstone at 1342 Lexington Avenue. The first solo project he completed on his own was Hughes' home. He was hired to renovate Warhol's home in partnership with Warhol's live-in boyfriend, interior designer Jed Johnson. Marino and Johnson also collaborated on remodeling the third incarnation of Warhol's Factory at 860 Broadway. His connections to Warhol and Hughes led to residential commissions from clients in the art world as well as the European aristocracy.
In 1978, Marino founded his architectural firm. That year, Marino and Johnson collaborated on designing the apartment of Pierre Bergé at The Pierre hotel in New York City. The apartment was featured in a spread in the May 1979 issue of Vogue magazine. Next, Marino did the Park Avenue apartment of Gianni Agnelli and Marella Agnelli.
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.
In 1996, Marino designed a freestanding boutique on New York City's Madison Avenue for Giorgio Armani.
