In 1996, Jacob Albert, Jim Righter, and John Tittmann joined forces to form ART Architects. Since then, the firm has become synonymous with thoughtful designs that celebrate New England architecture. Boasting a deep knowledge of history and a desire to innovate, the studio focuses on residential projects, though it sometimes applies a detailed approach to museums, institutions, and multiunit housing projects. Whether the firm is designing rural farmhouses or renovating a Beacon Hill apartment, ART Architects places an emphasis on building structures that are comfortable, durable, and efficient. Plus, the team works to meet high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability.
