Architecture & Design-Build in Bristol, RI
Careful design for one of New England's best-preserved harbor towns.
Locally Based
We Know Bristol
Bristol has held a Fourth of July celebration every year since 1785, and Hope Street's red, white and blue center line shows how seriously the town takes its history. Federal and Greek Revival houses line the streets near the harbor, while Poppasquash Point, the Colt State Park area and the neighborhoods around Roger Williams University give the town a wide range of settings. Bristol is about forty minutes from our North Attleboro office.
Downtown Bristol is dense and walkable, with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century homes on small lots. Farther out, neighborhoods open up into larger lots and newer homes, with waterfront properties along the harbor and Mount Hope Bay. Projects range from careful restorations and kitchen additions downtown to new homes on the outskirts.
Architectural Services
Exterior changes to properties in Bristol's historic district go before the Historic District Commission, and waterfront sites can also need coastal permitting. We prepare drawings that show how an addition or renovation fits the existing house and the street, which makes those reviews smoother.
Design-Build Delivery
Older houses hide surprises behind their walls. When the same team designs and builds, unexpected conditions are solved quickly and in one conversation, without change orders passed back and forth between separate firms.
