Located in centuries-old Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA, Olson Lewis Dioli & Doktor Architects (OLD&D) is a full service, multi-discipline architectural firm whose design process is a collaborative one. They work in partnership with their clients, listening closely, to develop architectural solutions that fully support every client's goals and aspirations. Their award-winning work raises a client’s expectations off the page and builds it into every detail. 
OLD&D’s areas of expertise include residential, hospitality, education, and life sciences. They believe in architecture that functions well, is appropriate to its intent, pleases the people who use and live in its spaces, and reflects clarity of design and the highest of artistic concepts. The firm is especially known for its regional design.
New homes often seem as if they have been in the family for generations. Older residences take on a new life through restoration and adaptive re-use. Expansions or additions incorporate period details so that the connection between old and new is seamless. Historic details are combined with contemporary sensibilities – incorporating the conveniences of modern life without sacrificing reverence for older traditions.
Their clients are as different as the homes they create. OLD&D works with affluent families to build private retreats, but they also design for residents of any age who need affordable and accessible homes. The same team has created student and faculty housing for small independent schools, designed exclusive residential communities, and also addressed the real-world need for sustainable homes.
OLD&D’s hospitality design includes hotels and health spas, country club clubhouses, YMCA facilities, racetracks and casinos. Their architects have planned educational facilities that include dormitories, dining rooms, libraries, gymnasiums and classroom buildings as well as performing and fine arts centers. OLD&D’s biotech design includes university and biotechnology laboratories and offices.
