Gradient was founded by Ben Krone in Brooklyn, New York in 2006. Originally conceived as a design collective exploring the intersections of graphic art and architecture, Gradient Architecture PLLC, is now a full service architecture and design firm specializing in cost effective means for producing high-end design through the use of computer-aided precision tools and manufacturing processes.
Gradient employs a philosophy of design that focuses heavily on process and operates free of limitations of project scale or typology. We believe that good design emerges from a thoughtful collaboration between client, architect, builder, and craftsperson. In all of our undertakings we seek to shape the client’s vision to the singularity of each site to create inspirational and compelling work with an emphasis on craft, materiality, and innovation.

Pete has been a frequent collaborator with Gradient Architecture since 2009, and joined the office full time in 2015. Prior to joining Gradient, he was involved with the design of several high end custom residences - notably at Olson Kundig and Hutker Architects. With a background in both architecture and landscape, he has contributed to a diverse range of projects, including urban plazas, streetscapes, institutional renovations, and ground up residences. Pete holds a Master of Architecture and a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a recipient of the F. Schenk-Henry Gillette Woodman Scholarship, and a BA in Biology from Colby College. He is a registered architect in the State of New York.
Hans joined the Gradient office full time in 2016, after working on the Gulliver's Gate Airport. He has worked part-time under OOAA, alongside the artist firm POSTWEST, and the exhibit-design group MOEY INC. Well-versed in graphics, digital modeling and parametrics, he is specialized in digitally-generated design. He received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from NJIT, where he was a recepient of the International Presidential Scholarship, and was awarded the Comprehensive Studio Award upon graduation. When the office is empty apart from him, his oddly-amorphous name changes to "Hans Solo." Conversely, when he is absent from the office, his name becomes "Hans-free."
