Elizabeth Dunne Marcoulier is a bespoke architecture and interior design firm focusing on the thoughtful balance of the beautiful and the functional.
With work inspired by classical sensibilities and characterized by sophisticated detailing, and artisanal craftsmanship, we strive to create timeless spaces that are at once refined but casual, restrained but emotive, elegant but easy.
Thoughtful.
Beautiful.
Functional.
Focused on bringing a fresh, collaborative approach to each project, we believe the design process to be a dynamic one bringing together the talents of architects, designers, builders, craftspeople and artisans. All working together to help listen, interpret, inspire and ultimately execute a client's vision.
With an acute attention to details and strong project management skills we work with the team from initial conceptual discussions through construction to provide a final product that exceeds expectations.
We are well versed in dealing with the multi-layered regulatory agencies required for many historic projects, and bring with us an established reputation with local preservation and historic commissions, and community advocacy groups. We seek to find respectful solutions that both preserve the historic fabric of our neighborhoods while making properties more livable for our modern tastes.
