Pete Choquette was an 18-year veteran of architecture and sustainability consulting when he sold his stake in his former firm in 2021. Frustrated with traditional practice and its limitations, he returned to school at the youthful age of 43 to earn a Master’s degree in Real Estate Development from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

In 2022 he founded Solsbury Hill and its sister design company, Centripetal Works. The firm's vision is to help establish a new model of practice that supports and accelerates the world's transition to triple bottom line sustainability with a mission to prove the deployment of design and capital together in strategic vision can lead to the development of healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous communities.
