James Phillip Golden Architect

I specialize in custom homes, additions, and historic preservation, particularly across Cape Cod, the Islands, and coastal New England. This includes new construction, significant additions, and thoughtful historic renovations, often for projects with construction budgets of $1.5M or more.

My process begins with a Feasibility Study where we thoroughly evaluate your site, program, and construction budget together. This ensures clarity on what's possible and what the project will actually cost to build, helping us design effectively within your financial parameters from the start.

Absolutely. I provide principal-led, full-service architectural services from initial concept through construction. I am present at every design session, every site visit, and every crucial conversation with the contractor, ensuring continuity and quality throughout your project.

Yes, designing fully custom homes is a core part of my practice. I focus on creating unique residences, particularly new construction on coastal land, that are tailored specifically to your family's needs and the character of the site, built to last for generations.
