Architectural sketches of a column and a Greek key pattern lie on a desk with a yellow pouch, three colored pencils, a silver laptop corner, and a gray paper with ornate sketch. Handwritten measurements are visible beside the drawings.
A man in a hat points upward, looking at a tall stone building, as a woman with long brown hair stands beside him. Another person is in the background. They appear to be on a city street with tall buildings.
A woman in a black dress stands by a corkboard wall covered with architectural drawings, sketches, and photos. She gestures with her right hand and holds a notebook, presenting her work in a well-lit room lined with bookshelves.


Internship Program

PPA is an award-winning practice in traditional architecture, recognized as a leader in classicism and historic preservation. We are currently seeking architectural, interior design and conservation interns to join one of the firm’s highly skilled and technically innovative teams. At PPA, we strive to strike a balance between real project work and education for our internship program. Past educational elements have included:

Walking tours of NYC neighborhoods with Peter Pennoyer
A day at the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA), which includes lectures and drawing classes
Book talks with writer and architectural historian Anne Walker
Office visits to historical sites
Workshop visits to our favorite artisan manufacturers
Independent design charette and presentation
A private tour of the Morgan Library

We feel that it’s important that our interns get to see the real work happening, which is why we prioritize as many site visits as possible. 

There will be two sessions:
Session 1 – TBD
Session 2 – TBD

A group of people in aprons stand around work tables in a bright art studio, watching an instructor demonstrate a mold-making process with yellow molds and white buckets on the tables. The scene conveys focus and collaborative learning.
A persons right arm extends toward a stone wall with ornate carvings, holding a measuring stick against a rectangular Greek key pattern framed by two floral rosettes. The person wears a black beaded bracelet. The stone has a weathered, light-gray appearance.
