Gluck grew up in Scarsdale NY. He received his bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1962 and a master's degree in architecture in 1965 studying under Paul Rudolph, James Stirling, Shadrach Woods, and Henning Larsen. After designing houses for a few years, Gluck went to Tokyo to design large projects for Takenaka Komuten Company. In 1972, Gluck started Peter Gluck and Partners, based in New York City, which over time became GLUCK+, a highly successful design/build firm specializing in high-end Modernist houses. All houses built by Gluck unless otherwise indicated. Bio adapted from Wikipedia.
