Architectural design for Watertown projects

From 02272 to the town line, Hunt Construction delivers architectural design throughout Watertown, MA in Middlesex County. Distinctive, buildable designs that balance form, function and budget.

Much of Watertown's housing is mid-century or older: 63% of homes were built before 1960 (median year built: 1947). Mid-century houses often need structural and code upgrades when they are expanded or opened up, so we assess the existing structure before the design is fixed.

We serve ZIP codes 02272, 02277, 02471, 02472 and 02477 and every community within 25 km of Watertown. Watertown is about 13 miles from our Framingham dispatch hub, well inside the 60-mile radius our superintendents and equipment cover. Nearby towns where we also provide architectural design include Belmont, Newton and Waltham.

About the service

How we deliver architectural design

Designing structures that last and inspire

Great buildings start with a clear idea. Our architectural design team translates your goals, site and budget into a concept that is as practical to build as it is beautiful to look at.

“Every line we draw has to stand up on site, not just on paper.”

From massing studies and floor plans to elevations and detailed construction documents, we design with constructability in mind — so the project you approve is the project we can deliver, on time and on budget.

Because design and construction sit under one roof at HUNT, cost feedback and buildability reviews happen continuously, not after the drawings are finished.

Why HUNT for architectural design?

Our architects work side by side with estimators and site superintendents. That means fewer redesigns, faster permits and a smoother handover from drawing board to job site.

  • Homeowners designing a custom home or major addition
  • Businesses expanding or repositioning their facilities
  • Institutions needing permit-ready design packages
