about

Stirling/Brown's design for the house we developed at 50 Lorena Road in Winchester was exactly what we were looking for - a truly special home. There is no question that the quality of the architecture and the interior flow provided by the floor plan, were key to the successful sale of this home. It is always a pleasure to work with people who are good at what they do.

I have worked with David Stirling of Stirling/Brown Architects, Inc. for over thirteen years and have found his expert advice and analysis pertaining to my various project invaluable. We worked on several challenging historic restorations, particularly the 1842 Greek Revival, Warren Sweetser House on Franklin Street, Stoneham, MA. The famous 1695 Butterfield/Whittemore House and the 1803 Gershom Cutter House both in Arlington, MA and the 1840 octagonal Richard Pinkham House in Medford, MA., all of which were placed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places. His firm recently designed for me a 22,000 sq. ft. Federal Colonial style apartment building at 20 Brooks Park in Medford, MA. I used his consultation throughout this project. David and his firm were always thorough and professional.

The Holyhood Cemetery Association maintenance building project went extremely well. Stirling/Brown provided our organization with excellent service. David Stirling kept the project on schedule and took the time to walk the project to assure the quality of workmanship. There were bi-weekly construction meetings and David was always prepared and on time.

I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Stirling/Brown Achitects on numerous projects, large and small, during the last 10 years. David Stirling and his staff have always managed the design and construction administration process in an extremely efficient manner. As a builder, I truly appreciate Stirling/Brown's ability to work closely and cooperatively with my staff to solve problems and help us deliver the intended design. The result of this close working relations between the builder and architect ultimately benefits the client with good design, efficient execution and adherence to chedue and budget. I look forward to any future projects with Stirling/Brown Architects.

David Dankens, M. F. Reynolds, Inc.

We would like to thank the the Stirling brown Team for a wonderful, creative, and cost-effective renovation of the second floor of our Victorian home. From start to finish, the team was responsive to our expressed desires for the project; and more importantly, made helpful suggestions along the way that, introspect, were perfect for the project. We have beautifully renovated bathrooms, as well as a master bath that was created from an adjacent, underutilized bedroom. All the changes were made in a manner that respected the age and era of the home, yet afforded modern efficiencies. The Stirling Brown team worked hand-in-hand with our contractor and the subcontractors, bringing the project in on-time and on-budget. We recommend the Stirling Brown team wholeheartedly!

David Stirling of Stirling/Brown Architects has done two projects for us. He quickly understood what we wanted and then drew up a plan that, in both cases, was precisely what we envisioned. As an architect, he listens carefully, has an attention to detail that we love, and produces plans that we can use. What else could you ask? If we have a future need, we will definitely call Stirling/Brown.

Stirling Brown designed an addition and a carriage house for us. They were able to capture the Victorian style of our house, provide us with maximum space and complement our lifestyle. Thanks, we enjoy our additional space every day, it was a worthwhile investment!
