Ebbrell Architecture + Design celebrates 10 years in business
Boxford, MA This year marks a significant milestone for Ebbrell Architecture + Design: 10 years in business. What began as a small practice has become a thriving firm of senior-level architects and interior designers. Over the past decade, they have completed hundreds of projects across diverse sectors, each tailored to meet the unique needs of their clients and the people who use their spaces.
Miika Ebbrell, AIA LEED AP, principal at Ebbrell Architecture and Design noted that many people have been with them on their journey. “Our clients have trusted us to bring their visions to life,” she said. “In reflection, we are thrilled at what we’ve accomplished and who we’ve met. The confidence our clients have in our expertise has allowed us to expand our services to include everything from designing small, conversation-friendly spaces to tackling highly complex projects for global clients. We are incredibly grateful for the partnerships we have developed.”
Ebbrell said her goal was to create a firm that prioritized both professional excellence and personal balance. By building a team of like-minded, experienced designers, she created a practice where collaboration thrives and creativity flourishes. Today, her all-female team of seven tackles projects that range from company headquarters to life sciences labs, manufacturing facilities, and vibrant community spaces – all with a focus on people-first design.
“We believe that happy, inspired designers create exceptional spaces,” said Ebbrell. “This principle drives and resonates in all our work. Whatever the project type, we aim to create environments that exceed expectations. This commitment to quality has earned us a reputation for excellence and a steady stream of referrals and repeat clients,” she noted.
As the Ebbrell team celebrates this milestone, they also look ahead. Ebbrell said, “We’re excited to continue growing, innovating, and partnering with our clients to bring meaningful spaces to life.”
