EMBARC
EMBARC was founded by Dartagnan Brown, a Boston-based Architect. Our work ranges from modern multi-family housing, high-end brownstone renovations, restaurants, work on college campuses, and exciting retail spaces. The team at EMBARC has significant experience across these project types, and it is this exposure that has given us the tools to understand all aspects of a project, from the big picture to the smallest detail. We know how important fundamental knowledge of the client, site, neighborhood, and city processes will be for the successful completion of any project. This translates into an exceptional group of knowledge-based professionals that communicate and work together diligently to achieve the very best solutions possible for our clients. EMBARC provides our clients with innovative and elegant design solutions while being mindful of each project’s unique parameters. A clear understanding of a client’s goals is critical to the completion of a successful project. As a firm, we are committed to a philosophy of collaboration and communication, and approach each project in this manner. Thanks to this philosophy, we have quickly grown to be a large player in the multi-family and commercial sectors within Greater Boston and along the East Coast.
