About

Moskow Linn Architects is an award-winning, Cambridge-based architecture firm that specializes in residential projects throughout New England.

We collaborate closely as a studio and with clients to respond to each project's unique location, site, views, program, and sustainability goals. Our design approach references vernacular detailing, scale, materiality, and craftsmanship to create contemporary architecture, which grounds our projects with a timeless quality meant to enhance the lives of inhabitants for generations.

MLA has a longstanding tradition of expanding the boundaries of conventional architecture practice through theoretical interventions, small-scale investigations, and publications. These explorations allow us to approach design with fresh perspectives and push us to test the limits of form, process, and materials.

In 2024, our firm was selected by Forbes Magazine as one of America's Top 200 Residential Architects.
