DREAM Collaborative

We are a Boston-based, award-winning 100% MBE architecture, planning, and development firm. Since our founding in 2008, we have earned national recognition for delivering innovative, human-centered architectural design; expert, transformative planning; and forward-thinking leadership in equitable real estate development.

Innovating at the crossroads of comprehensive planning, advanced design and construction and financial viability

As a leader in collaborative and community-driven projects, we listen deeply, respond to neighborhood priorities, champion environmental stewardship, and push the boundaries of advanced design and construction methods. DREAM’s differentiators inspire confidence — grounded in a commitment to excellence, deep expertise, and an unwavering dedication to treating our clients as true partners. 

DREAM Collaborative delivers projects through a fully integrated model that unites real estate development, architecture, and planning into one coordinated platform.

We deliver full-service architectural design services, guiding projects from concept through construction administration. Our expertise spans a broad spectrum of project types and scales —from new construction, historic preservation and adaptive reuse to deep energy retrofits and renovations—drawing on both national and international best practices. In addition to our architectural and planning services, DREAM offers alternate services that help envision, plan, and activate projects.

DREAM Expertise

Powered by Diversity

Since our founding in 2008, DREAM has been proud to operate as a 100% minority-owned (MBE) firm, bringing deeply diverse backgrounds and global perspectives to every project. Our team is over 50% women and represents countries from around the world, creating a culture rooted in inclusivity and multifaceted problem-solving.

With an international portfolio and a diverse global staff, we integrate worldwide best practices with local expertise. This breadth of experience allows us to approach every challenge with a unique lens, ensuring our work is as culturally resonant as it is technically rigorous.
