General Info

Taylor & Burns Architects is led by Robert J. Taylor and Carol J. Burns, each with 25 years of professional experience in the private and public sectors. Founded in 1993, the firm pursues work varied by size, program and client profile. Concentrating on design for education, performing arts, worship and civic communities, the firm is expert in the architecture of assembly rooms for large groups, and highly skilled at creating new work in sympathy with existing buildings and landscapes. The firm also designs residential and urban-scale commissions. Taylor & Burns is organized as a creative design studio fostering collaboration among owners, architects, and consultants. We see design as discovery of fresh approaches to physical and spatial problem-solving. Our most important service is inventive thinking. We deliver our services visually with effective communications, developing ideas and leading diverse constituencies through complex decisions and approvals. We follow through in technical details and with the practical know-how and fortitude to realize ideas in construction. Since 1994 we have worked from studios at 58 Winter Street in downtown Boston overlooking the Common. With NCARB certification, and registration in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont, we practice nationwide. LEED-accredited professionals, we are also a women-owned business, certified in Massachusetts as a WBE/DBE firm.
