Design is a process for solving problems.

Architecture and Design is about problem solving, thinking creatively to craft places and spaces that serve a specific function and inspire us. CA+D is a design firm built around the idea that every project and every client represents a unique opportunity to create something beautiful while meeting the specific needs of the circumstances. Providing a full suite of design services to its clients, CA+D offers unlimited resources to a wide range of project needs.

Founded by John Poelker in 2021, Cambridge Architecture + Design represents a different kind of architecture firm. Bringing over 25 years of experience in leading clients and delivering projects, John focuses on a process that clearly identifies your goals early on and therefore establishes the foundation for success in all aspects of the project. Transparency throughout the design process allows clients to always know where things stand with design ideas, budget, and overall project delivery. This holistic approach to architecture takes the guesswork out of an often times unfamiliar process.

CA+D brings experience in Residential, Commercial, Institutional, and Adaptive Re-use to our clients. Every project is different and therefore every solution is custom.
