houghtCraft Architects is celebrating a milestone 20th anniversary, marking two decades of innovative design work in New England and North Carolina. Founded by MIT graduates Chris Johns and Jason Hart in Somerville, Massachusetts, the firm has grown into a dynamic studio known for its thoughtful architecture and interior design.
With a diverse portfolio spanning residential homes, institutional buildings, commercial interiors, and historic renovations, ThoughtCraft has earned a reputation for crafting spaces that prioritize connection, function, and inspiration. According to co-founder Chris Johns, their mission is to create spaces that not only fulfill their purpose but also inspire those who use them.
The firm's designs are characterized by clarity, material richness, and integration with the natural environment. Projects range from innovation labs and breweries to classrooms, multi-family housing, and adaptive reuse developments. ThoughtCraft has also adopted modern design tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM), virtual reality, and cloud-based collaboration platforms, enhancing accuracy, transparency, and client engagement.
As the firm looks to the future, it plans to expand its public sector work, explore alternative housing models, and continue pushing the boundaries of Mass Timber construction.
