MACHADO SILVETTI is an architecture and urban design firm known for creating, revitalizing, and expanding distinctive buildings and spaces in the United States and around the world. Its work is diverse in location, scale, and type, and merges contemporary agendas and aesthetics with complex cultural and historic contexts. Machado Silvetti’s research-based approach explores and celebrates each project’s unique character, expressed through designs that are original in their conceptual clarity and visual intensity.

Founding Principals Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti began working together in 1974, before founding Machado and Silvetti Associates in 1985.  Jeffry Burchard, AIA and Stephanie Randazzo Dwyer, AIA were named Principals in 2015. The firm’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its organization and structure. At a time when many firms are specializing or growing to unprecedented size, Machado Silvetti continues to innovate as a small firm, offering the personal involvement of its Principals in every commission, from initial concept to construction detail. 

After more than three decades of steady, successful practice, our portfolio reflects the diverse scope, scale and breadth of the firm's experience, displaying special expertise in Art and Teaching Museums, Education and Institutional environments and facilities, Conservation, Cultural Heritage, Re-Use, Urban Design and Planning. 

The office has received three National Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects, twelve Progressive Architecture awards and citations, fourteen design awards from the New England AIA, numerous Boston Society of Architects awards, including the 2003 Harleston Parker Medal and the prestigious International Award for Architecture in Stone. Most recently, Jorge Silvetti was the individual recipient of the 2018 AIA/ACSA Topaz Medallion for Architectural Education and Jeffry Burchard was a recipient of the 2020 AIA Young Architects Award.
