New England Architects: Where We Work

Sustainable Architecture Across New England & New York

ZED designs high-performance custom homes and renovations from our Boston studio, with completed projects spanning Cape Cod, the Green Mountains, and Manhattan. We work where our clients live, and where thoughtful design and sustainability meet.

Whether you're building new on Martha's Vineyard, renovating a brownstone in New York City, or reimagining a farmhouse in Vermont, our process travels with you.

Massachusetts

We're based in Boston and have completed dozens of projects across the state, from passive houses in Brookline to net-zero renovations in Weston to coastal homes on the Cape and Islands.

Greater Boston & MetroWest

We also work throughout MetroWest and surrounding communities, including Weston, Winchester, Westwood, Arlington, Wayland, and Hingham.

Cape Cod & the Islands

The Cape and Islands have their own architectural language. Wind, salt, and light shape every decision, and our work in this region balances coastal tradition with modern performance and resilience.

Coastal homes from Marblehead to Plymouth, designed for the realities of New England weather.

New Hampshire

Our New Hampshire portfolio spans the Seacoast, the Upper Valley, and the Lakes Region. Recent work includes a barn renovation in Rye, a primary residence with ADU in Hanover, and an independent school project. New Hampshire's mix of historic homes and rugged sites rewards careful, climate-specific design.

Vermont

Vermont is where our passive house work meets the most demanding climate in New England. Our Farmstead project shows what's possible when traditional Vermont vernacular meets near-zero energy performance.
