Architecture & Design for the North Shore
Bespoke renovations and additions for homes that deserve more.
We are By Bradley
Every project works through our thoughtful process, from the first conversation to the final detail. By Bradley is a boutique architecture and design practice based on the North Shore of Boston. We work with homeowners on renovations and additions — projects where the goal is a home that fits your life, not just your existing space.
01 — Conversation
We start by listening. Before anything is drawn or decided, we want to understand how you use your home, what isn't working, and what you love about it. This shapes everything that follows.
02 — Design
We develop a design that's specific to your home and your life — not a template applied to your square footage. We'll help you find a builder or work with your builder through pricing and design iterations. You're involved throughout, so nothing comes as a surprise.
03 — Documentation
We prepare the drawings and specifications required to obtain permits and build your project. This is a collaborative process with the builder and other team members. Clear documentation means fewer surprises in the field and better outcomes for everyone.
04 — Construction
We stay involved through construction, working alongside your contractor to make sure the design holds up from plan to reality. The details matter and we work with your selected builder to make sure that they land.
Our Services
Our services aren't one-size-fits-all; whether you own your home or you're considering a new one, there's never a bad time to reach out. We're happy to talk through projects at any stage and work with you on what's possible.

Transforming existing spaces to serve you better — without losing what makes them yours.

Design
