Andrew Sidford Architects is excited to announce their participation in the third annual Boston Design Week, a 12-day citywide design festival taking place March 30 – April 10, 2016.

Andrew Sidford Architects presents “A Client’s View on Home Renovation” on Wednesday, April 6th from 6:30pm-8:30pm in the Atrium at 10 St. James Avenue Boston, MA. This panel discussion, moderated by homeowner Julia Farwell-Clay, will explore common renovation questions and offer enlightening and sometimes humorous stories from all perspectives involved in a home renovation.

Architect Andrew Sidford of Andrew Sidford Architects will be joined on the panel by home technology specialist, Joseph Kolchinsky of OneVision Resources; custom builder, Allison Iantosca of F.H. Perry; interior designer, Jill Litner Kaplan of Jill Litner Kaplan Interiors; and landscape designer, Roger Cook of “This Old House”. The event is free and open to the public. RSVP via email at rsvp@asidfordarchitects.com.

Andrew Sidford Architects worked with homeowner Julia Farwell-Clay to not only design an addition to her Newburyport home, but also took on a complete renovation of the adjacent carriage house.   Farwell-Clay purchased the 1850’s carriage house to protect the building from demolition and converted the space into a music hall, often hosting public concerts by the local chamber music ensemble. Guests who attend the panel discussion on April 7th will also receive an exclusive invitation to join Sidford on a tour of Farwell-Clay’s home and renovated carriage house on Saturday, April 9th at 11:00am in Newburyport.

A licensed Architect with 30 years experience, Andrew Sidford’s expertise ranges from historic renovations to contemporary design, and from single-family homes to large-scale commercial and institutional projects. He founded his own architectural practice in 1992. Sidford collaborates with clients to design creative, thoughtful architecture. He informs his work with the belief that how one experiences, lives or works in the spaces he helps create is more important than the size of any or each building. Sustainable design has been at the core of Sidford’s philosophy long before “green energy” became a buzzword.  Widely recognized for bringing together the best of contemporary architecture with historic and natural elements, Sidford’s buildings have been featured in Boston Globe Magazine, Design New England, Northshore Magazine, and numerous other publications.
