1. SHED Studio
Based in Cambridge, MA, SHED Studio works as an architecture firm. A team of 4, the business has been operating for 20 years. Much of an architect's value comes from solving problems before construction starts, such as fitting an addition within setbacks, keeping natural light in a reworked floor plan, or matching an older home's character. Changes on paper are far cheaper than changes once walls are framed. On their profile, SHED Studio lists project type description: complete remodel; professional services needed: project consultation, design drawings, construction documents (blueprints), construction administration and contractor selection assistance; property type: residential and commercial. A remodel that affects structure, rooflines, or exterior appearance, or that must meet zoning limits, is a common point to bring in design help. Mention your timeline, whether you already have a builder in mind, and which services you need, from design only to construction support. Some architects bill hourly for small projects and a fixed fee for larger ones, so ask how extra revisions and site visits are billed. Besides Cambridge, homeowners in Allston, Roxbury Crossing and Somerville can reach out for architectural design. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Check, Credit card, PayPal, Square cash app and Venmo. Request a quote from SHED Studio on Fixerlane and describe the job you need done.
