TRAVERSE ARCHITECTS

We specialize in simple, modern, sustainable designs rooted in regional craftsmanship. We believe that great architecture is possible for every client and every project — regardless of location or budget.

We begin each project with careful listening and prioritize clear communication throughout the entire process. This approach allows us to respond thoughtfully to the unique needs of each client, project, and building site.

Traverse Architects is an award-winning, licensed architecture practice based in Cambridge, MA.

DAVID M FENCHEL Owner | Architect (licensed architect in MA, VT, MD…and wherever our next project is located!)

Dave began his architecture career in 2000, working at award-winning firms in Washington, DC, and Boston, MA.

His design practice reflects a thoughtful balance of nature, art, and the built environment - guided by a design philosophy and ethos that’s rooted in a lifelong connection to the outdoors.

When he’s not at the drawing board, Dave is often hiking in the mountains, trail running on the Cape, biking, x-c skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, or traveling abroad with his sketchbook. His beloved pup, Scout T Pants, is usually by his side.
