Established almost 30 years ago, this North Shore firm has a practice that reaches from local neighborhoods to exotic locales around the world. So what brings Olson Lewis Dioli & Doktor Architects (OLD&D) to 55 South Main Street in Ipswich?

OLD&D’s partners and staff have lived and practiced in Ipswich for decades, working closely with local business and civic leaders. They have been instrumental in helping to shape the town’s landscape. Opening a second office on South Main Street is a natural extension of this commitment.

A significant part of OLD&D’s regional practice is already based in town. Being on-site in Ipswich just makes sense. The firm has designed or renovated several private residences, as well as such notable spaces and structures as Ipswich’s YMCA, Zumi’s, The Clubhouse, Mansion and numerous private homes at Turner Hill, Ipswich Inn and the Oak Hill’s annexation of the Memorial Building. Many commercial projects and private homes, visible around town, are the ongoing work of OLD&D.

Along with their established practice as architects and planners, OLD&D is also expanding their interior design services from just commercial to include a newly-launched Residential Interiors team.

Locating an office in Ipswich is also a vote of confidence about Ipswich’s future. Among North Shore communities, the firm believes that Ipswich is already showing itself as a place of renewed vitality.
