FR Review:
Known as a "regionalist" architect, Richard King is known to put a contemporary spin on traditional New England designs. He is said to bring a refreshing interpretation of the classic Shingle style homes, particularly on the waterfront. However, it is King's ability to sense a home's "proper setting" with regard to the client's needs and the neighborhood's legacy that has clients and industry insiders recommending this respected architect.
King, a sole practitioner, started his firm in 1998. He holds two architecture degrees from Clemson University. King works with a wide range of clients, from first homes for young couples to retirement residences for retirees. About 25 percent of King's work is residential, and most of that is dominated by renovations. Most of the architect's work is institutional, dealing with colleges, universities and religious institutions.
Preferring to work alone to "think and draw at the same time," King is a local architect who works mainly in Middlesex and New London Counties. Projects range from $100,000 renovations to new homes of $1 million. The firm charges a lower hourly rate.
