BEST TRADITIONAL ARCHITECT

Albert Righter & Tittmann Architects

When Yale-trained architects Jacob Albert, Jim Righter, and John Tittmann launched their firm in 1996, the trio were lauded for their expertise in designing traditional New England homes. The firm has since expanded to include other partners who feel strongly that the region’s architecture should also be freshly interpreted. Within the firm’s portfolio, you’ll find a wide breadth of residential styles: a farmhouse that features traits of a Neoclassical European villa; a shingle-style home designed with 12-inch-thick walls to conserve energy; and a coastal property constructed around salvaged barn beams.
