Title
LaFreniere Architects
Description
LaFreniere/Taketomo Architects is a new design association of two experienced architects who were classmates at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. It was established last year, with the intention of providing the full personal attention of the firm's principals and senior staff to selected institutional, corporate and fine residential projects. The partnership brings together complimentary skills, experience and sensibilities to provide both design excellence and cost controls, broad conceptual strategies and fine resolution of details.
Both principals bring the experience of designing and managing large projects for premiere architectural firms, with the care and concern for detail gained from sole practices. We provide our clients the experienced personal service and management continuity they would expect from a small firm, and the design talent, technical expertise, and production capabilities available at some large offices.
John LaFreniere was a principal with ADD Inc, when he founded LaFreniere Architects in 1990. Since then, projects have ranged from new corporate headquarters buildings to the conversion of a 100,000 SF industrial facility into a first class office building on Route 128, From designing a 3,000 SF offices and boardroom for the Smith Family Foundation, to programming and designing 120,000 SF of new space for Monster.com on two floors of a 600 foot long mill-building. Other Projects have included master plans for the redevelopment of industrial sites, new laboratory buildings, housing studies and residential projects.
