ABOUT US architecture furniture graphics press

WARD 2 pursues great design through a grounded understanding of people and place. With sturdy boots, pencil in hand, and eagerness for the unknown, we study each commission's unique history, politics, context, conflicts, and desires. It's from these roots that we tease out opportunities for craft, innovation, and sense of wonder.

We are young designers living and working in Ward 2, a rapidly changing neighborhood in Somerville, Massachusetts. Our creativity comes not from thin air but from hard work and a profound sense of grounding in place.

Our projects range in type, scale, and location - from graphics to furniture to buildings. We are trained in architecture, but we'll design anything.
