About Us

Architects are well trained in design theory, engineering, and project management that can help guide concepts into building plans. We explore ideas to solve complex problems & ensure projects meet their needs. Professional Design Services can be a wise investment, not just an added expense, because a well-conceived project can be achieved efficiently & economically while keeping your interests in focus with inspiring results.

As soon as you decide you want to build new or renovate an existing building, you should start looking for an design professional. Architects can provide important pre-design services including building evaluations and feasibility. Involving an architect early in the process can help guide you toward achieving your project goals, while avoiding potential project delays and added costs.

It is critical to find an architect who makes you feel comfortable, and with whom you have open communication throughout the process. It is important to identify a team with experience in your project type, who will be able to more seamlessly navigate project development you require in a timely manner.

We focus on residential work from minor additions to new home construction as well as small-scale commercial & non-profit projects across New England.

You’ll find at 8TFive Studio, we strive for your satisfaction from start to finish!

We are a full-service architecture and interior design studio centered around your visual design experience. From schematic design through development, 8TFive Studio utilizes advanced 3D Building Information Modeling to help improve productivity, showcase spatial representations, and enhance our overall services that will better assist you with understanding your project.

We can explore how your building is expected to perform, how much it might cost to build and operate, as well as what it will ultimately look like from the interior to the exterior … before construction is even set to break ground. 

Your architect will depend upon you to communicate about your design needs,  preferences, functional requirements, and construction budget. Your timely responses to questions and design options will help keep your project on track. It is also important for you to raise any concerns you have as things proceed, so they can be addressed in the earliest stages. Working in collaboration with your architect, you will help ensure the best possible outcome for your project.

Founded in 2013, our mission is to redefine conventional architectural design practices that are traditionally slow to adapt, by embracing exploration of innovative, collaborative & imaginative software, strategies & solutions.

Our studio brings a thoughtful approach to sustainability with LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification since 2009 and an advanced expertise in BIM (Building Information Model) analysis since 2005.

What does this mean for you? We can offer our clients a quicker turn around with better visual exploration and understanding for performance and costs.

Our licensed design professionals would provide a consultation to better understand your project’s needs and help address questions you might have.

We then present you with the letter of proposal outlining our scope of work. After review and if acceptable to you, we would begin working on your project upon receiving a signed agreement and project retainer to capture existing building conditions, review applicable building codes, and explore the design.

Once you are happy with the established design intent from our collaboration, we prepare architectural drawings that respond to and describe the general size, nature, and character of the scope of work involved for permitting.
