As a high school student in Rhode Island, Chris began drafting homes and learning on the job. At Notre Dame he studied architecture from antiquity to the renaissance to modernism while living in Rome and traveling throughout Europe.

Chris has taught at the Boston Architectural College and Wentworth Institute of Technology and continues his role as educator with design jury critiques for Notre Dame and Wentworth.

Chris brings knowledge, capability, and design sense to each design task. Each project is a collaboration for there is always more than one way to create new spaces.

Practicing what he preaches Chris keeps a sketch journal, creating and capturing the wonderful memories of his travels and everyday observances.

Rescued in 2012, Royce has been part of Julie and Chris’ family and the studio ever since. Royce can often be found at the studio napping in the sun, checking in on our projects, sitting in on meetings, and greeting our clients and collaborators with tail wagging.

Rescued as a pup in 2018, Maddie has brought her sweet, spirited self to the studio. Maddie is typically found under one of our desks supporting our progress or riling up Royce for a quick break during the day.
