Derby Square Architects Derby Square Architects is a practice of architects & interior designers who work collaboratively to design buildings for the betterment of our community.

Originally founded as Richard Griffin Architects (RGA) in 1998 on Turner Street in Salem, Richard began offering architectural consulting services for local residences and small businesses. Richard had previously worked for other local architects such as HMFH and D.F. Trees Associates. In 2013 Bill and Alexandra Peterson launched Kontseptual, Inc., an architecture and interior planning practice in Boston, MA. They began consulting with Richard and Craig in 2014 and eventually moved up to Salem and into a shared office in Derby Square. Today this collection of architects and interior designer has formed Derby Square Architects.

In the winter of 2025, we were asked to be a part of this dynamic team to revive a closed restaurant in the heart of Salem’s Historic Derby Street Neighborhood into a place that attracts locals as much as tourists. At Trade House, they believe food and drink bring people together. They’re a pub in the heart of downtown Salem, a gathering place where friends, families, and neighbors connect over great meals and even better conversation.

This church renovation thoughtfully balances preservation with modern-day needs, introducing accessible connections between both floors, a LULA elevator, refreshed gathering spaces, and carefully integrated updates throughout.

We worked with the owners of the Howling Wolf of Salem, MA and the Wolf Express of Marblehead, MA to create their third location in North Andover, near Merrimack College. The space was previously used as a frozen yogurt shop and called for an overhaul of most of the space. At the same time, to work within the clients budget we found ways to reuse key finishes like floor tile, ceiling grid, and essential plumbing locations. The result is a dynamic space for take-out, eat-in, and a full-service bar.
