Place Making as Civic Art
Cousins Architecture is a town planning and architectural design practice located in Boston and Duxbury, Massachusetts with projects conducted in numerous states since 1978 – for public and private clients, in resorts and the mainstream market.
Our commitment is to build affordable, walkable, durable places and beautiful buildings, working from continuing traditions of American architecture and towns. To meet new needs, resources, and aspirations for community building, design contributes to local loyalties and self governance – a shared vision of citizens for common life, for belonging to their institutions and places.
Homes for all incomes, providing greater choice of dignified and attractive housing, sensitive to the local context and supporting stable neighborhoods and town centers.
Templates for protecting and revitalizing commercial and mixed use thoroughfares, preserving open landscape, planning for resilient towns, and strengthening historic character.
