DBVW was thrilled to participate in the 1st Annual Helping Hands - New England Tree Decorating Contest at Gillette Stadium sponsored by J&J Flooring to benefit Hasbro Children's Hospital! Our Candy Land-themed tree will bring holiday cheer to a hospitalized child this season! We were honored to receive the "Best Tree Theme" Award, but the real reward was coming together as a team to spread holiday joy!

About us
At DBVW Architects, we believe in building strong, resilient, livable communities that promote smart growth, reinforce a unique sense of place, and celebrate the relationship between history and the future. We design contemporary and modern architecture, adapt and preserve existing and historic resources, and creatively unite old with new in response to our clients’ needs. Since the founding of the firm in 1994, DBVW has grown into one of the largest full-service architectural firms in Rhode Island, serving individuals, organizations, and communities throughout New England. We have a special interest in realizing the potential of existing buildings that may have otherwise been overlooked, and we have had the honor of preserving some of New England’s most important historic landmarks. We take sustainability seriously and believe that the best way to conserve cultural and natural resources is to repurpose rather than demolish. People know us for our eagerness to listen, to laugh, to get our hands dirty, and to put our noses to the grindstone. It is not uncommon to find us surveying at the top of scaffolding or measuring in a crawl space. We help our clients creatively solve challenges and make informed decisions at a comfortable pace by communicating simply, clearly, and effectively. Our goal is to help our clients enjoy the process as much as the architectural solution.

Check out the progress at Province Post, our project with Delphi Construction, Inc., to bring 65 new apartments to Provincetown, MA!
Progress continues at Province Post as we move forward with bringing 65 new apartments to life across four buildings.

In the coming weeks, we’ll see even bigger changes as we get ready for wall layout and framing of the first floor begins.

DBVW is happy to be a part of this great project to bring a healthcare facility for Outer Cape Health Services to Wellfleet, MA!
We are grateful for being part of this project for Outer Cape Health Services in Wellfleet. This healthcare facility will wrap up in the next few weeks in order to serve clients on the Outer and Lower Cape. In this 2300 SF remodel we transformed the interior space into new counseling offices, a break room, waiting area and conference room. Work involved abatement, demolition and a new layout to accommodate patients comfortably. Exterior work consisted in restructuring entrances, siding, widening the parking lot and drive-through lane for new parking spaces, surrounded by a 300' long by 12' tall retaining wall. Our crew is finalizing binder and new electrical service, excited for another great delivery! DBVW Architects, Outer Cape Health Services #buildingresponsibly #delphiconstruction #healthcare
