Baker Batchelder Architects

Specializing in high end additions and renovations to old houses, Baker Batchelder Architects has over twenty years of experience in residential design, projects large and small. They have a hands on approach, working with clients and contractors during the entire process, from initial design and programming through construction. Known for sensitive additions and renovations to fine homes, principal architect Linda Batchelder has a keen eye for excellent proportions and balanced elements. A wonderful flow and sense of light are the back bone of Linda's project interiors, transforming tired rooms into favorite spaces. Her joy in getting to know clients and how they live complements her visual abilities, so that sketches on paper develop into beautiful functioning designs. Good listening and personal attention have been hallmarks that set Baker Batchelder Architects apart. Designs are developed with client input, providing the clients a sense of ownership in the design as well as a welcoming and unique place to call home for years to come. Great importance is placed on satisfying the contemporary needs of their clients while enhancing the existing property and being sensitive to the neighborhood context. Construction is expensive. The firm’s goal is to create construction drawings and specifications that will result in a smooth and error free building process. They consider builders to be teammates, not adversaries, in the construction process. Baker Batchelder Architects encourages a spirit of fairness and cooperation between the owner, builder, and architect while at the same time keeping all parties focused on the goal of timely project completion according to the contract. Examples of Baker Batchelder Architect's work abound in the Southport and Fairfield Historic Districts.
