Merrimack Design Associates, LLC Architects, provides comprehensive architectural services for residential, institutional and commercial clients. Our practice is built on over 25 years of practical experience designing homes in the Boston area and throughout the Northeast.

We draw on regional building traditions to design sensitive contextual buildings in harmony with their immediate surroundings, while creating custom-tailored designs reflecting our clients' individual needs and desires.

We specialize in the preservation and restoration of historic buildings. When renovation or the construction of additions becomes necessary to suite contemporary amenities and lifestyles, we seamlessly integrate the old and new.

Our work is grounded in architectural history, Classical architectural composition and proportion. Our knowledge of craft and the traditional building arts is based upon our extensive architectural library and product resources.

Our knowledge and commitment to the core principles of our practice serves the larger community through our concern for the finite resources of our world. We firmly believe in and advocate for the principles of preservation, smart growth and new urbanism.

Our studio is located in the historic Henschel carriage factory near downtown Amesbury, north of Boston and west of Newburyport in the Merrimack River Valley of Essex County, Massachusetts.
