SPAN Architecture Names Hello PR Group as Agency of Record

SPAN Architecture has selected Hello PR Group as its agency of record, marking a new partnership for the award-winning international architecture and design studio.

Led by Karen Marie Stonely, AIA, LEED AP, and Peter Pelsinski, AIA, LEED AP, SPAN Architecture is known for residential and commercial work shaped by the relationship between natural landscapes and the built environment. The studio’s ongoing exploration of biophilic design informs projects that merge environmental awareness with contemporary practice.

The firm operates with a human-centered approach, creating spaces that clients consider deeply personal and site-specific. Its work spans architecture, interiors, furniture, art, lighting, and branding, reflecting a multidisciplinary process grounded in collaboration and research.

SPAN’s leadership engages actively in professional and community initiatives. Stonely has held roles within the American Institute of Architects and Open House New York, while the studio has contributed design support to public-service efforts such as the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club Design Show House and pro bono work for the New York Council for the Humanities. Pelsinski currently teaches at Princeton University, offering seminars on biophilic and integrated design.
