Austin Design Cooperative Inc Architecture for Enjoying Life: collaborative and responsive residential and commercial architecture Our clients can testify to that.

It is no small thing to say that we take “Architecture for Enjoying Life” as our operative statement. Our work is built around what is really important: connecting with each other. The impetus comes from our clients, whether for a home, a business venture, or a civic institution; the common denominator is “people in a place.” We aim to facilitate a built experience that brings joy and builds memories. Those memories, that experience—these are our goals because they are your goals and the way we define success. Austin Design is born of New England, and though we have been living and working here for decades, what makes us the right design partner is our evolved and engaged combination of character, integrity, insight, intention, and connection.

Coming up! This month's Architecture + Design Film Series pick, THE DESERT OF FORBIDDEN ART, will be showing on Wednesday, November 11th, at 6:00 pm.
📽️
During Stalin's Soviet era, Igor Savitsky collected more than 40,000 beautiful, colorful, powerful and rarely seen works by artists experimenting in a brash, avant-garde style. These works, at odds with the drab realism favored by the government, put the artists at great risk. Savitsky searched out the artists and their works and created a museum in Uzbekistan, remote enough that he evaded the worst of Soviet censorship. He collected and preserved cultural artifacts of Uzbeks as the government attempted to erase the culture. This film follows his story, taking us on a dramatic journey of sacrifice for the sake of creative freedom, while revealing the glorious works of art and the stories of the people involved.

Good Work: Masters of the Building Arts vividly celebrates American craftsmanship and the unsung heroes—the stone carvers, stained glass artisans, metalsmiths, plasterers, decorative painters, and the adobe workers who create and preserve America's iconic buildings. This film dives deep into the palpable passion, skills, and commitment of the people who work to bring enduring beauty to our built environment.

Some of the best partnerships begin with shared values.
PV Squared Solar and Austin Design Cooperative Inc have a lot in common.

We're both worker-owned. We're both rooted here in Western Massachusetts. And we both spend our days creating things we hope will serve people for decades.

For the latest installment of Powered by the Sun, United by Purpose, we sat down with our friends at Austin Design to talk about worker ownership, thoughtful succession, sustainable design, and what it means to build something worth passing on.

We believe sustianability is about building organizations, relationships, and local knowledge that can last for generations.

Different disciplines. Shared values. A long-term view.

Coming up! Catch this month’s Architecture + Design Film Series pick: THE AUTOMAT, showing on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 6:30 pm.
🎥
Originating in Philadelphia, Horn & Hardart's Automat was America's original and most beloved restaurant chain where generations of Americans ate and drank coffee at elegant communal marble tables, free from social barriers. Pie? Coffee? Put your nickel in, then open the little glass door to a freshly made delight. The Automat illustrates how the company served the public great food and at the same time treated its employees with fairness and integrity. The legacy of the Automat spans a century, chronicling its rise as an iconic restaurant chain that inspired Starbucks and its eventual decline, sealed by the rise of fast food that forever transformed the American dining landscape.
