Carr, Lynch and Sandell is a full-service multi-faceted design firm doing business for over 30 years. We practice architecture, landscape design, urban design and planning. We undertake design problems from the scale of regions to individual houses and from concept to implementation. We are able to draw on all of these disciplines to create extended environments, integrating buildings and landscape. The firm's mission is to respond to our client's financial needs and schedule by working with them to develop and create places of beauty and social utility Works vary in scale from the master planning of a region to design of a single family home. our objective is to create beautiful, livable places that are socially and environmentally responsible. The firm's planning, urban design, and landscape design is recognized nationally. Our architecture practice has a strong regional basis and character and is deeply rooted in the firm's planning and urban design base. We strive to create architecture that respects context and reinforces community. One of our founders, Kevin Lynch (noted MIT professor in urban studies planning), stated that "our role as designers is to help create a vision and then to define ways to attain it". This remains a major underpinning of our firm's design philosophy.
