Joseph B Lanza Design+Building

Architectural Design, Building and Remodeling on the South Shore and Cape Cod

Making the world a better place. One house at a time.

Designing and building new houses and renovations from Duxbury to Hingham, Cape Cod and beyond.

I believe that a good house should have the qualities of a good friend, offering support, hospitality, intelligence, and good humor to the people who live in them.  I listen carefully to my clients and pay close attention to the building site to design houses and additions that fit both the people and the place they have chosen to live. I hope that the projects you see here won¹t just show you the quality of my work, but will also give you an idea of why I do it.

I started out as a carpenter and cabinetmaker, and I take great pride and pleasure in building things well. In my early years of woodworking, I learned that there can be much more to building well than sound construction and that good design involves more than making things look nice.

Studying architecture, I learned how buildings work, and how space, light, scale, proportion and materials can work together to create places that make people comfortable and happy.

My goal is not just to build beautiful houses, but to make them beautiful places to live.  If you are thinking of building or renovating, please
