My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

About Us

I-Kanda Architects is an award-winning architectural design practice founded by Isamu & Marley Kanda, following graduation from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. The Boston based firm’s work has graced the covers of Boston Home Magazine and Boston Globe Magazine, as well as being published in Dwell, Dezeen and Azure. In 2017 the firm received the AIA Design Honor Award by the Boston chapter of the American Institute of Architects. In 2018 the firm received the Best of Boston Home Award for Urban Architect, and was selected as "Next Progressives" by Architect Magazine. The firm approaches each project as a new array of needs and desires out of which to conceive uniquely enhanced structures. Their aim is to turn constraints into possibilities - to work with clients, builders and sites to realize ideas far beyond initial hopes. The firm creates buildings and spaces that are modern, yet enduring – equal parts purpose and sculpture; broadly ranging from lofty barn conversions to Back Bay penthouses, boutique storefronts to mountain-side cabins.

We were extremely happy with the work that Isamu and his firm, I-Kanda Architects did for us on our renovation project. The project entailed a significant renovation of a 8 bedroom Victorian build in 1900. We put in a new kitchen, new Master Bedroom, 2 1/2 new baths and more. Also an entirely new front porch on outside. Isamu is easy to work with, came in under budget. and always delivered drawings and such on time. He was creative with ideas and worked well with designer and contractor. I would use him again without question. My highest recommendation for I-Kanda Architects! Chris Joyce

We built our dream home in Western MA using an existing 1860's barn as the building envelop. I-KANDA worked very closely with us to create an outstanding space in which to live. Form, function, workflow and aesthetics were seamlessly combined to create a juxtaposition of modern and antique, intimate and open. We are going on 10 years in our space and I still appreciate the thoughtfulness in space and form. I see timeless design everywhere I look.

Isamu Kanda is an extraordinarily gifted architect. He designed and supervised a complete gut renovation of a large penthouse in an older, multistory building. He has a beautiful vision, especially of contemporary/modern, elegant, sleek design that gets the essence and is warm and liveable. Isamu listens very well (rare in an architect) and worked with our ideas and suggestions while offering his own perspective. Harvard trained, Isamu has deep structural expertise and can handle complicated technical issues. He and the builder worked well on solving many problems arising from an old (1928) building. We interviewed 5 top architects and he was by far the most creative, thoughtful, and ultimately competent. The project was long and complicated, but working with Isamu Kanda made us feel confident and happy.
