What Alba Architects does

Alba Architects LLP is a full-service architectural design practice founded in 2011 and headquartered in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, with a second office in Moultonborough serving the Lakes Region. The firm was formed by partners Stuart J Anderson and Philip M Bennett and operates across northern and central New Hampshire. Services span the complete project lifecycle — from initial site analysis and feasibility studies through schematic design, design development, construction documentation, and contract administration — for individual homeowners, design-build contractors, commercial enterprises (hotels, resorts, restaurants), and institutional clients (schools, government agencies, healthcare facilities, nonprofits).

The practice is differentiated by three specialized competency areas: LEED Building Design & Construction (BD&C) certification participation and administration (partner Philip Bennett is USGBC LEED BD&C accredited); energy modeling and high-performance building envelope design incorporating advanced technologies such as wood pellet and heat pump systems; and historic preservation and restoration following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. Core products include custom residential architecture (new lake and mountain homes, net-zero energy homes, additions, renovations), commercial and institutional architecture (resorts, schools, healthcare, theaters, restaurants, government buildings), and adaptive reuse of historic structures. Recent project work spans a wide size range from $1.4M to $6.6M in construction value across hospitality, agriculture, education, senior housing, and municipal end markets.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees structured per project and tailored to client type and regional economics, with no public pricing tiers. Pricing is project-based with multi-year engagement cadences. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on the firm's professional website portfolio, project case studies, civic engagement (Rotary Club participation), and word-of-mouth referrals within the regional New Hampshire market. The firm holds no external investment, operates as an independent LLP, and has no disclosed subsidiary, parent, or M&A activity. No AI, API, or software platform components are part of the offering.
