About Us

The focus for our residential team is YOU, our client & partner in the design process. We truly enjoy collaborating with our clients. We pride ourselves in having an open working style because we believe this collaborative style is critical to a successful outcome for your project. We believe architecture has to be a natural and simple extension of what is already there, yet it needs to improve the overall sense of any location. We apply our creativity with the newest technologies and building materials to blend the new and the old in a unique and artful manner. Working directly with an OL+ partner on projects ranging from planning to additions to new design & build projects, our clients tell us that our innovative approach helps them realize their vision, plus so much more than they had ever imagined!

Ulrich Landscape Collaborative, LLC

As landscape designers, we have enjoyed working with Olson Lewis + on a number of residential projects in the North Shore area. Art, Chris, and the team are talented architects, great listeners, and truly value a collaborative approach with other design professionals. With a wealth of knowledge and experience, they are one of the premier designers in this region for a reason!

When asked to review OLSON LEWIS + Architects from one to five, I would wholeheartedly give a six! It was a pleasure to partner with OL+ Architects. The residential team I worked with are dedicated, love what they do, and it shows! I found them to be open to ideas, and we discussed items and approaches to the work as a group. We always moved forward with the best solution, no matter what the source. In my opinion, this kind of teamwork consistently results in the most successful project outcomes. I enjoy working with OL+ and am happy to recommend them.

Architect Art Dioli from OL+ designed our 3 bedroom lakefront cottage. His creativity and vision allowed us to build a wonderful home that fits seamlessly into the landscape and into our lives. He was a joy to work with. He recommended a wonderful builder and, together with an interior designer that I chose, the three team member worked together beautifully on this project from start to finish.

I give five stars because there wasn't an option for six! Superb design guidance, hands on at every step of the project from design to construction to interaction with interior designers. If you're looking for the best of the best start and end your search here. We designed and built a three bedroom oceanfront home and every aspect down to the most minute detail was anticipated, discussed and integrated. Olson Lewis will work with you to design an enduring classic. We can't say enough good things.

So who wouldn't enjoy working with an architectural firm whose PR photo looks like a 70 's folk band album cover? With a reverence for the way things were and experience re-imagining architecture for contemporary use, Olson Lewis +Architects provided an entree to the clients vision that allowed for creative color design and a beautiful outcome.
