Gryphon Architects is Nantucket based firm with a focus on residential and commercial architectural services to the island community. We have extensive experience with projects of all scales, from custom furniture and millwork, to renovations and new construction.
Each project begins with the needs and desires of our clients, considering environmental context and vernacular along with codes and regulations. Working with our client’s budget and timeline, we apply our design sensibilities and exploration, with a great appreciation for the craft of construction, to create a refined and unique design solution.
As a full service firm, Gryphon Architects stays with your project from the first design consultation to final construction punch-list, and beyond. We believe in a highly collaborative and integrated approach and look forward to being an integral part of your design team.
