Chris’s first love was figuring out how to make things work. He spent a decade as an engineer, when he wasn’t driving a van for his friends rock band. Architecture gave him broader palette. Now he figures out how to make places work, for the way people live, the materials of building, and the environment. Chris studied engineering at U Mass Amherst, and Architecture at the Boston Architectural Center. He and Carol opened the doors at Helios Design Group in 2004, after having worked together for several years at the Boston architecture firm of Hickox Williams Architects.

He’s interested in what really makes buildings green, beyond the sexy stuff. When he’s not in front of the computer, Chris and his kids can be found on the slopes in winter, and on their bikes the rest of the year.
