Sophie Linnell is a preservation carpenter and sculptor based in Boston, Ma.

In addition to her field work at Linnell Restorations, Sophie teaches timber framing and architectural carving at North Bennett Street School in Boston.

Sophie brings a deep curiosity for how historic architecture is not irrelevant by nature of it being oriented in the past, but in fact integral to giving both context and inspiration to contemporary design.

Sophie is interested in learning from historic structures, preserving their presence, and sensitively adapting them to contemporary life in such a way that leads to a work that speaks truth to the embodied, connective human experience.
