Lynn Hopkins

More than 20 years ago, Lynn Hopkins launched her firm, Lynn Hopkins Architect (www.lhopkinsarch.com), in Lexington, Mass. A member of the Lexington Historic Districts Commission, Lynn believes that new and old construction should come together to create a cohesive whole that is respectful of the original house, the environment, and history. When Lynn isn’t working on someone else’s house, she’s outside digging around in her garden.
