Dave Carmen founded Carmen Associates, Architects in 1980 after having worked for well-regarded architectural firms in the Western Massachusetts area. The firm is a small, team based practice that stresses unique solutions to architectural problems. We strive to listen well and to craft design that exceeds the expectations of our clients.
Carmen Associates specializes in custom residential projects and commercial projects. In both of these project types, we try to design spaces that flow well and provide both abundant light and an inspiring spirit of place. We respect the neighborhood or urban context in which we design our projects, use innovative materials when appropriate and integrate a concern for the health of our planet.
We believe architecture has the power to delight people, and we strive to maximize that potential in our projects. We believe in a team based architectural and construction process. We collaborate with talented engineers and consultants as needed during the design process and stay involved during construction.
