John P.A. Todd Associates is widely recognized for its imaginative redesign of existing buildings of former beauty and often prominence. Among the most interesting have been the transformation for new use of country estates, their buildings and their landscapes using flexible zoning techniques, facade and open space preservation easements to benefit their owners and their surrounding communities.

Much of our practice is in new design and construction which has inspired collaboration first with clients whose dreams and aspirations give a project direction and momentum; then with response to the site whose configuration, orientation and views are vital to success and, finally, with the context –the place– be it on the New England coast, a mountain valley in Montana or an established Philadelphia neighborhood.
