Design Your Community: A Hands-On Architecture Workshop in Marshfield, MA

“Design Your Community” is an immersive architecture workshop that offers a behind-the-scenes look at an architect’s creative process. Participants explore diverse design methods—from cutting-edge digital tools to traditional hand drawing—while discovering that there’s no single “right” way to create. Guided by a philosophy of exploration and self-expression, each participant is encouraged to develop unique design ideas that foster a deeper connection to their community.

Led by architect and mentor Christine Monaghan, this engaging program emphasizes how design can serve people and strengthen the places we share. Participants will refine both verbal and visual communication skills while reimagining a public space in need. With a supportive, inclusive environment, this summer program beginning June 23 invites individuals of middle and high school ages to discover their passion for architecture, creativity, and community impact.

Designing for Levitate: Enhancing a Local Landmark

This year’s “Design Your Community” project centers on improving the indoor and outdoor spaces of Levitate, a beloved multi-use venue in Marshfield, MA. The program begins with a kickoff session at Levitate’s surf shop, where owner Dan Hassett will share insights into the company’s vision and design challenges. Participants will tour the facilities, conduct hands-on walkthroughs, and learn to use professional tools like a 3D scanner to document spaces and gather design data.

Work then continues at Levitate Studio, where participants collaborate to brainstorm and develop creative design solutions that align with Levitate’s business goals and community spirit. With real potential for their ideas to be implemented, participants will create high-quality presentations and portfolio-ready materials under expert guidance.

By learning from real-world challenges and focusing on meaningful community projects, “Design Your Community” empowers aspiring designers to create thoughtful architectural solutions that leave a lasting impact on both their portfolios and their neighborhoods.

 

What our Client Say

Expert Coordination and Practical Solutions in Healthcare Project

I worked with Christine Monaghan on a healthcare-related project at the Boston Higashi School and found her to be extremely engaged, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with.
She understands the importance of coordination and attention to detail in healthcare and institutional settings and was always open to technical input and practical solutions. From my perspective as an independent flooring consultant, her approach made a complex issue much easier to navigate. I would gladly work with Christine again and would recommend her to healthcare and institutional clients looking for a knowledgeable and responsive architect.

What an Amazing Job!

Christine was fantastic to work with—professional, responsive, and easygoing. Her design was absolutely beautiful and brought the whole project to life. Highly recommend!

Mark Mcquaid Realtor
Transformed Our Space Beyond Expectations!

Christine was professional from the beginning on our project. Her emails and in person discussions were always met with great detail and proper expectations. We struggled with what to do with our space and what she was able to do with it was amazing! We look forward to seeing the final product and enjoy our new kitchen and living space when it's done. I cannot recommend Christine enough and share with everyone what she helped create!

Ashley Van Haur Home Owner
Five-Star Expertise and Service

Christine's knowledge is insane! She had the answer to every question that was asked and if she didn't know she found out. Follow up was top notch, attention to detail was more than we expected. 5 Stars for sure!!

Jan Bruno Realtor, Keller Williams
A Seamless Process from Vision to Design

My wife and I had different goals and visions for the home and neither of us had undertaken a project of this scale. Throughout the design process, Christine listened carefully to each of us, shared new ideas and provided several different floor plans for us to consider - each incorporating of our varying objectives. Once we selected our favorite concept, Christine helped us to refine the layout and scope by presenting different design elements and pinpointing all the fine details. The 3D renderings she created were especially helpful for us to visualize and her flexibility working within our busy schedules was greatly appreciated. Christine also referred the contractor we ultimately selected, and we are very excited to move in to our “new” home
