Welcome to Our website. Located in Essex County, in historic down town Ipswich, Massachusetts, Cummings Architects is devoted to timeless, honest design and we offer a variety of architectural and interior design services to the North Shore and New England that reflect our core values. As design professionals we act like conduit for our clients, funneling your ideas, dreams and ambitions into architecture that is truly art.

A common thread runs through all of our projects: Passion, it lives in the open and airy spaces of our waterfront homes in Manchester-by-the-sea, Rockport, and Marblehead. Passion thrives in our comfortable and seamless additions in Wenham, Beverly, Lexington, and Belmont. Our passion is appreciated most in our historic preservation and restoration efforts at numerous homes in Ipswich, Winchester, Rowley, Hamilton, Boxford, and Topsfield.

Each new home or addition we design reflects your needs and wants as a family. We incorporate our interpretations of architecture into the forms and spaces that make up your new home or addition suited to your desires. We strive to ensure our ideas echo the overall concept of your unique design, from the foundations to the smallest of details. Through our designs, clients are able to live in their dream home or addition that speaks of their individual personality.


Architecture is the process of giving physical, architectural form to the thoughts and ideas of the architect and the client. Cummings Architects believes that a person's or family's lifestyle helps create the Art of Architecture. To accomplish this, we first and foremost listen to our clients and their needs, desires and preferences for their future environment. How do you, the owner, envision your home, environment and surroundings? How does your home support and vitalize the lifestyle you have chosen?
