OCO architecture::design focuses on all types of projects from new construction, additions, renovations and interior design. We treat every project, big or small with the same level of effort and enthusiasm. We are committed to finding a balance between traditional New England architecture and your individual needs for modern living. We create solutions that fit into the fabric of the existing community. We find inspiration in our design process, from the surrounding landscape or existing home, our collaboration with our clients, and the challenges of implementing new design solutions. All of which results in architecture uniquely created by people and place.
