Vollertsen Architecture

At Vollertsen Architecture, we believe in the power of design. Not just any design, but design that is responsible and responsive. We are a firm that has been serving the greater Boston area for over 20 years, and we take pride in our commitment to our clients and the environment.

Our founder, Olaf Vollertsen, has over 30 years of practical experience in various project types. As a sole practitioner, he ensures that every project gets his full attention, creating spaces that function for each client's unique needs and lifestyles. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for innovation, Olaf guides each project to a design that satisfies the client's individual taste, while keeping the project scope and cost in check.

Our Services

Our services are tailored to fit each client's needs and budget. Whether you're looking for a full-service design experience or a more limited scope, we have you covered. For clients who want the full package, we start at the first project meeting and end when the last coat of paint has been applied and the punch list has been completed by the general contractor. For those on a tighter budget, we offer a la carte pricing, which includes basic drawings for building permits and no construction administration.

Design Process

We understand that every client is unique, and so is their design process. That's why we take the time to understand your needs, preferences, and budget before we begin. From conceptual design to final construction, we keep you informed and involved every step of the way. We use detailed 3D modeling to help you envision your project before it's built, ensuring that the final product meets your expectations.

Commitment to the Environment

At Vollertsen Architecture, we're committed to creating sustainable and energy-efficient designs. We believe in the importance of 'green' choices and welcome deep energy retrofits and 'net zero energy' projects. Our goal is to design spaces that not only look great but also reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on energy bills.

Testimonials

But don't just take our word for it. Our clients have praised us for our professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to their needs. From kitchen renovations to full-scale home designs, we've helped countless clients achieve their dream spaces. Here's what some of them have to say:

"From our first meeting through the final inspection, Olaf has been great to work with. It was a collaborative project from the outset as we redesigned our first floor space including moving the kitchen, taking out walls, and adding in a mudroom/study space within the original footprint. Olaf was thoroughly professional, paid attention to detail and quality as well as budget. He worked with our contractor addressing concerns as they arose, giving us his well thought out opinions when the contractor encountered issues during the demo and build phases. We worked with Olaf on the design phase for about a year and the project was completed within 7 months from the start of demolition to the final inspection. He coordinated the work flow and was instrumental in keeping us on track when we needed to finalize our selections for appliances, fixtures, and finishes, etc The process went so smoothly that we hired him again for an attic project we completed in the spring of 2018. We've had many compliments from friends and neighbors and even the city inspector on how well the renovations were designed. Olaf made these renovation projects much less stressful than they otherwise would have been. I highly recommend him for any project." - Rose Dieffenbach
