We translate your dreams to create a space in sync with your sense of beauty and needs for functionality, while maintaining your site’s sense of place. Whether we are designing an addition, renovation or new construction for a private residence or an educational institution, we transform your vision into reality. PHILOSOPHY We are dedicated to design and client service, balancing our commitment to unique design with our commitment to accommodating each client’s lifestyle and needs. Our designs grow from a specific sense of place. Organizing each project to celebrate the strengths of its site, ranging from sun exposure, to views, to water’s edge, we develop our architecture to capitalize on these assets, while creating inside spaces that are comfortable yet exceptional experiences for our clients. We consider ourselves to be problem-solvers, reconciling the constraints of lifestyle, budget and site, while staying true to our design philosophy. Our client service reflects our commitment to give each client particular attention. We are committed to listen and to respond, throughout the design process, and beyond. EXPERIENCE In our thirty years of practice, we have designed residential and academic work throughout New England, as well projects ranging from Florida to Canada. Our specialty has been creating exciting design work in an historic vocabulary, with many projects in Historic Districts throughout New England. Principal John Battle is a graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His designs have been widely featured in various magazines and television broadcasts. STORIES George, a client, really wanted to categorize me throughout the job— traditionalist, modernist, etc. At the end of the job, he declared me a Humanist. “You are always thinking about how it was to use the spaces”, where did you want to read the Sunday paper, what do the handrails feel like, how is this going to work for the family, etc. All that added up to the label of Humanist, which I graciously accept. Much better than a style label. They have hired us for 3 more projects over 15 years. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Energy-Efficient Homes - Green Building - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Universal Design - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Barn Design & Construction - Tiny House Construction - Staircase Design - Garage Design ### Areas Served - Boston - Cambridge - Newton - Lexington - Belmont - Burlington - Acton - Sudbury - Concord - Wayland - Weston - Groton - Maynard - West Concord - Lincoln - Boxborough - Carlisle - Hanscom Afb - New Hampshire Lakes - Newton Center - Newton Highlands - Newton Lower Falls - Newton Upper Falls - West Groton - West Newton ### Typical Job Cost $500,000 - 7 million Cost range covers projects from renovations to new construction. ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Battle Associates, Architects | | Address | Two Independence Court, Concord, Massachusetts 01742, United States | | Phone | (978) 369-1805 ext. 12 | | Website | http://www.battlearchitects.com | | Followers on Houzz | 348 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/battlearchitects/ - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/battle-associates-architects - Blog — http://www.battlearchitects.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Battle Associates, Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/battle-associates-architects-pfvwus-pf~151093107) - **Website:** http://www.battlearchitects.com - **Phone:** (978) 369-1805 ext. 12 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 2015 Prism Award Winner - 2016 National Contractor of the Year Award (COTY): Kitchens Over $150,000 - 2016 Town of Concord, MA, Preservation Award for Sensitive Addition/Alteration - 2018 New Hampshire Home \| Excellence in Small Home Design - 2021 Stairbuilders and Manufacturers Associations Award - **Best of Houzz:** 8 awards (2012–2024), for Design, Service. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 11 reviews** ### All 11 reviews **★★★★★ — preidt, Oct. 2016** > KR+H has worked with John Battle on numerous projects over many years. These projects have varied widely in size, program, and client sensibilities. This broad range has given me many opportunities to observe the way John listens carefully to his clients and then responds with ideas that not only support their program and aesthetics but also offer unique and inventive design solutions. John is equally collaborative with the contractors and craftspeople who transform ideas into a built environment; he welcomes their expertise and works with them to achieve results that are both practical and beautiful. > Everyone at KR+H welcomes the chance to work with John. We are looking forward to more successful collaborations **★★★★★ — peter8434, Sept. 2016** > My company has worked with Battle Associates on multiple projects for nearly twenty years. During that time we have developed a very strong relationship as a key resource for John and his entire staff, and in so doing have found them to be extremely professional, creative in their designs, thorough, accurate and an absolute please to work with. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! > > Peter Brnger > Millwork Masters **★★★★★ — gcolony, Sept. 2016** > John Battle and team have designed and overseen the construction of three houses for us, and we are currently using his firm to build a fourth. John excels at translating a vision into amazing places which have been the sites of some of our family's happiest moments. He remains flexible and responsive while carrying a strong point of view. We would highly recommend the Battle organization. **★★★★★ — Tony D, Sept. 2016** > I have worked with John Battle on four different projects over the years. He is a great listener. He knows how to take my good ideas, and turn them into great plans. He is creative, tasteful and efficient. And most importantly, he is high integrity, honest and a pleasure to work with. I would never co spider working with another architect. **★★★★★ — Pellettieri Associates, Inc., Sept. 2016** > Our company has provided comprehensive Landscape Architectural services to John Battle, Architects, over the past seven years. John and his staff have been a pleasure to work with. They have an exceptional sensitivity to site issues including site protection and preservation, siting of structures, site development and impacts, and alternative solutions to problem solving. We have worked together from permitting/regulations, to conceptual designs, to construction, and through to completion. Their willingness to consider feedback and make plan adjustments has provided a smoother process for their clients, builders, and all team members. > Of particular note, John and his staff have provided prompt responses and details for any and all questions, which is especially helpful during construction, when crews are already on site. > I highly recommend them without reservation! **★★★★★ — Sharyl Stropkay, Sept. 2016** > I have been involved with several Battle Associates projects. As an interior designer I have worked on materials specification, lighting plans, kitchen design and often times on follow up projects choosing fabrics, furniture and other final interior finishes. These follow-up projects would not be possible without the initial success of the build and the relationships formed in that process. I have always found John's architects and contractor teams to be easy-going perfectionists. The quality and workmanship is clear in their beautiful end product, but these guys are all such a pleasure to work with. Attention to detail is not just a design ideal, but a project management style, and it makes all phases of construction and communication run smoothly. I have worked on a 16,000 square foot lake house and a small antique restoration with this team, and no matter the duration or budget of the job, the work is superb and the clients are happy. **Comment from Battle Associates, Architects:** > Sharyl, Fun working with you. This is one of my favorite interiors shots. John **★★★★★ — Charity Tremblay, June 2016** > My husband I have worked with Battle Associates on three separate projects. W chose to work with John because he has an aesthetic for old homes and new construction and a design sense that seamlessly combines the two. The additions John created to our historic farmhouse appear to be part of the original house. And yet they accommodate the lifestyle of a modern family beautifully. We wouldn't have done one thing differently! And that's thanks to John's know-how and ability to deal with ... creative... clients! **Comment from Battle Associates, Architects:** > Charity, > > Thank you for taking the time to review us. Looking forward to the next phase. John **★★★★★ — asantinelli, Sept. 2015** > We have done two major projects with Battle Associates and both turned out fantastic and added value to our home. They don't take a cookie cutter approach to their work. They worked with us to incorporate our ideas and desires and very often presented wonderfully creative and unique concepts. They then work closely with the builder to make certain that the deliverable matches the vision. > > I also admire the fact that they operate the business with low overhead. No fancy office space and perks that get passed on to the customer. > > If you want a high-touch, personalized approach to creating something truly unique Battle Associates is your architecture firm. **Comment from Battle Associates, Architects:** > We much appreciate your support, and thank you for referring us to others. Here is the picture that was on the cover of the BDG. > > John **★★★★★ — Lynne S, June 2015** > My husband and I hired John to design our new kitchen addition. It was an interesting challenge due to our location in the Historic district and the difficult layout of our home. John captured both of our ideas in the proposed design which was fantastic and pleased the Historic Districts Commission as well. > > It was such a pleasure to work with John! Not only did he answer questions and solve design issues on > the spot, he was able to help define the “big picture” and subtle nuances of our project. John also listened to both my husband and me and helped guide us through the design process of our renovation. We are absolutely thrilled with the result. **★★★★★ — Platt Builders, May 2015** > I have worked with John Battle and his firm for a number of years completing more than a dozen projects together. All of the projects have been very successfull adding to John's and my list of happy clients. As a builder, I value John's candor and straight forward approach to construction challenges. John brings a savy eye for design and a weathered pragmatisim for working with the realities of residntial construction. From my vantage point as a builder, I have always seen John be frugal and wise with clients' budgets and yet willing to ask questions and genuinly listen for answers. I like the fact that John does not have a set group of design solutions; on each of the dozen projects we have built, John has drawn unique ideas and eagerly explained why this particular idea is right for this particular client and this particular house. This keeps us on our toes and always eager to see what the next SK drawing will reveal. **Comment from Battle Associates, Architects:** > This has turned out to be another great run for us, and I look forward to many more projects together. **★★★★★ — allenracks, March 2015** > In 2012 we purchased a 120 year old house in our town's historic district. The previous owner had lived in the house since 1941 and very little had been done in that time to update any of the systems. The house did not have a garage, needed a comprehensive restoration and needed to have the kitchen updated to modern standards. As our town's historic district had a reputation of being very challenging to work with, we knew that we needed an architect with an extensive knowledge of historic buildings and an expertise on how to work with town boards. Also, as we would be living out of state during the renovation/ addition, we were looking for an architect who could effectively manage the project and communicate ongoing status and issues in a clear concise manner. > > John Battle showed up on day one ready to go. He quickly recognized how to best preserve the historic elements of our house while at the same time cost-effectively modernizing the structure. He and his team worked up a creative design for the garage that was in harmony with the existing house, and one that was ultimately approved by the Historic District. I can not emphasize this part of our project enough: dealing with Historic District had the potential to be extremely stressful, but John's calm and persistent demeanor successfully navigated this. > > His plans for the main house modernized the kitchen and turned it into the epicenter of family activity - his design came out so well that it ended up on the cover of This Old House magazine. Ultimately we are in an wonderful old house that thanks to John and his team, retains all of the charms from another time but offers all of the modern comforts. I would strongly recommend Battle Architects. **Comment from Battle Associates, Architects:** > I can't tell you how often we get compliments on your house. The high visibility was a huge plus for us. Thanks for your support.

I’ve seen this several times on Houzz, but tonight just observed that the porch must be screened from the inside, the only possible way, being right on the water. Our lake guest house porch overlooks a ravine toward a cove. We are in the process of having it screened. Screening from the inside seems so much more practical. The only downside I see is losing the ledge surface for window boxes. Do many clients choose to screen from the inside? It would certainly make repairs much easier!! Thanks for posting this beautiful project. A: Glad you like this house! The issue of screening is determined by service needs, and the presence of dogs! In this case, we need to be able to replace screening at any time of the year, so the inside screen was the only way. **Q: Can you please tell me what town in Boston is this? Beautiful!!!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is on a lake near Peterborough, NH **Q: Exterior green** *(in Photo Questions)* Please share name /maker of green stain. Cheers! A: It was Cabot, standard color, don’t remember the name **Q: Love the mixes of sidings that you used** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you tell us the colors and exterior materials used on this project A: The materials are skirl siding and bark panels, custom colors **Q: Love the siding choices** *(in Photo Questions)* Is it pine or cedar? and where can I find it in NH A: The material is called skirl siding, and available at many lumber yards in NH **Q: I love the folding door. Can you tell me who makes it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is made by Architectural Opening, in Somerville MA. They will make any size you need. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
