Architects & Engineers
Founded in 1965, DiMella Shaffer is a Boston-based architectural and interior design firm whose talented staff of 80 architects, interior designers and planners create inclusive, inspiring designs for corporate, commercial, institutional, and residential clients. We are passionate about architecture and design and believe that buildings can positively influence our environment and the people who live in, work in, or simply experience them. At the same time, we recognize that architecture is a business and a craft, and that success is ultimately achieved through the right balance of both. Emphasizing a pragmatic approach, we focus on teamwork, strong management, leadership, and innovative thinking to ensure our design vision meets each client’s needs, goals, and budget. We believe that in the major challenges of a project also lie the opportunities for a truly inspired solution—a richly-layered solution that evolves directly from a response to the program, the site and context, the building materials, the economic constraints, and the local building traditions. The result is award-winning designs that create and enrich communities, and fulfill the goals of our clients.
