Machado Silvetti is an architecture and urban design practice known for creating distinctive and meaningful work throughout the world. Our projects are intensely local, celebrating uniqueness through conceptual clarity, visual delight, and programmatic innovation. Clients engage us for our design sensibility, our attentiveness to detail, and our deep respect for the power of collaboration. 

Since our founding in 1985, we have pursued the creative resolution of context, program, and material. Partners Stephanie Randazzo Dwyer and Jeffry Burchard incorporate the rich practical and theoretical legacy of the firm’s founders with their own expertise: Stephanie’s facility for transforming deep listening into built work; and Jeffry’s visionary capacity for experientially generous design. Our firm is committed to a thriving studio culture where collaboration and receptivity are essential, with ongoing collective practices like open studios, shared discussions, charrettes, lively design pin-ups, and engaged social activity.

After four decades of practice, our portfolio reflects broad experience across scope, scale, and location, displaying special knowledge in art and teaching museums, educational environments for PK-12 and universities, multi-family residential, civic buildings, public spaces, cultural heritage , adaptive re-use projects, and urban design and planning. Our award- winning projects can be found in and near Boston and across New England’s campuses and coastal towns, throughout the US in cities like New York, L.A., Denver and Cary, and around the world in Beirut, Buenos Aires, Abu Dhabi, Malaysia and Vietnam. 

Our current projects include a public elementary school, a historic whaling museum, a recreation center, multi-family housing, an engineering college renovation, and a coastal hotel.
