A client oriented team, we strive to collaborate with you to develop a unique design for your new home, addition, or commercial property. Our ideology focuses on collaboration. You will be living, working, and playing in the end product. Your voice will be heard every step of the way! We are a team of three designers, each with different experiences and strengths. We will choose the best fit for your project to take on the role of lead designer, but each of us can aid you through the design process. Bill Fornaciari, the founder and owner of the firm, oversees each project. His education in Architecture and Historic Preservation from Roger Williams University is vital to our many projects across the historic districts of the south shore. His intimate knowledge of framing (he's from a family of framers!) and historic home construction enables him to make any addition or renovation of any home ring true to its style. Bill's two associates, Mackenzie Glennon and Michelle Mott, work closely with him (and each other) to achieve the goals of all of our clients. Mackenzie, an active candidate for registration, utilizes her Bachelor of Architecture and minor in structural engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to anticipate all impacts of design decisions to ensure her client's desires are met. She is happy to aid clients in visualization of their dreams through 3D rendering. Michelle, a licensed architect, earned her Bachelor of Architecture from Syracuse University and honed her skills throughout the Boston area. She brings confidence and friendliness to every design meeting and thinks outside the box to attain a client's intentions for their space. Bill's business manager, Sheila Kaiser, is the face and voice of the office. She is happy to answer all your billing, scheduling, and design process questions. Don't forget to ask about her dogs! ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Kitchen Remodeling - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Bathroom Design - Space Planning - Historic Building Conservation - Barn Design & Construction - Basement Remodeling - Basement Design - Deck Design - Garage Design - Laundry Room Design ### Areas Served - Plymouth - Hingham - Duxbury - Kingston - Plympton - Manomet - South Shore ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | BF Architects | | Address | 34 Main Street, Plymouth, Massachusetts 02360, United States | | Phone | (508) 746-2036 | | Website | http://www.bfarchs.com | | Followers on Houzz | 88 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — http://www.facebook.com/pages/BF-Architects/100823103334725?ref=hl - Blog — https://www.instagram.com/bfarchs/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [BF Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/bf-architects-pfvwus-pf~881175025) - **Website:** http://www.bfarchs.com - **Phone:** (508) 746-2036 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2017), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Jacqueline Thomson, March 2016** > Great people to work with, phenomenal design plans, associated with excellent builders. Both Bill and Kristen are thorough and experienced. So very happy with them. 5 STARS! **★★★★★ — Thorson Restoration & Construction, July 2013** > We are a Builder/Remodeler and have collaborated with BF Architects on a large number of projects over the course of our 22+ years in business. His design aesthetic and his ability to bring a client's vision to life are factors that make him stand out in the industry. He is very adept at balancing appropriate styles for region and age of a structure as well. After many successful project collaborations we have recommended BF Architects to many of our clients and will continue to do so going forward. **★★★★★ — GREEN on GREEN landscape design / build, Jan. 2013** > Bill and his team are wonderful project collaborators. Bill worked to bring our vision to life within a very tight time frame and equally tight budget restrictions, accomplishing everything we hoped. We thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration, and hope to work additional projects with Bill in the future. > > We highly recommend Bill Forniciari and BF Architects! ## Selected projects - [Washington Master Bath Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/washington-master-bath-addition-pj-vj~600635) - Location: Duxbury, MA - Photos: 17 - [Custom Home - New Beginnings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-new-beginnings-pj-vj~74925) - Location: Plymouth, MA - Photos: 11 - Description: This Custom Home was built for clients that lost everything to a devastating fire. this home signified a new beginning for this family and was truly a pleasure to build. here is what the client had to say: "Our previous home on this site was destroyed in a devastating fire in which we lost everything.
