Thoresen and Linard, Architects

Since 1981, the office of Thoresen and Linard has been providing architectural and planning services for corporate, institutional, commercial, and residential projects involving new construction, rehabilitation, historic preservation, as well as interior design.

Each commission is approached without predetermined solutions and pre-conceived styles or fashions. The client's vision and needs are the starting point for shaping the many, and often diverse requirements of the program into a coherent solution. It is expressed in a most appropriate, first-rate architecture.

Being a small organization, we are able to successfully execute projects of a diverse nature through the continuous personal attention and close communication given by the principals and the dedication of our staff and consultants. All share a common pride in the quality of services provided and the caliber of work produced, within budget and on schedule. Central to our practice is the depth of experience of the two principals whose involvement has been with a variety of noteworthy projects of national and international stature. This resource gives Thoresen and Linard the ability to anticipate problems and generate effective solutions, appropriate to the task.
