Our enduring partnerships, often spanning multiple generations, stand as a testament to our ability to bring our clients' visions to life.
Our talented team works across a range of architectural styles, from traditional to modern, with expertise in renovation, restoration, preservation, and new construction. With a focus on seamless collaboration and a clarity of style, BNA delivers thoughtful solutions tailored to each client's needs, all while integrating modern sustainability and innovative building practices.
With architecture studios based on Nutter Farm in Topsfield, Massachusetts, and in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, we proudly serve the North Shore of Boston and throughout New England. Our work reflects a strong commitment to community partnerships, conservation advocacy, and mentorship.
