Joe Fisher, Architect.

Joe was born in Burlington, Vermont and earned a Master of Architecture degree at Norwich University, a small school set deep in mountains of central Vermont. He has designed custom homes for over 10 years, working in northern Vermont and Austin, Texas before settling in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

His experience studying in Australia under Glenn Murcutt, Richard Leplastrier, Brit Andresen and Peter Stuchbury was a life-changing, inspirational experience as a designer. He brings the lessons from that time to every project - passing on that passion for design, empathy, concept, scale, and the interconnection of details to highlight each home’s unique bond with its site.

The materials of a home should be sourced locally, intimately tying the final product to the place of its creation.
