Spaces that inspire, delight, and promote well-being
Shelter is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm.
We collaborate with homeowners, businesspeople and communities to create beautiful, engaging environments.
Our designs serve our clients’ needs, reflect their passions, and contribute to a healthier, more humane world.
We’d love to work with you.
Residential design
Our residential work includes new homes and historic renovations. We’ll design an entire dwelling or a specific room. Specialties include kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
Commercial design
We team with passionate entrepreneurs, creative professionals and community institutions. We help them further their missions, serve their customers, support their employees, and elevate their brands.
Sustainable design
We consider design an important tool — one that can save energy, reduce pollution, and empower people to make positive environmental impacts.
Universal design
We create spaces to suit people of all abilities. Eliminating obstacles benefits everyone — and helps people age in place for as long as possible.
