Taina is a Principal and Director of Design for Line Company Architects, Inc. and has been with the firm since 1988. She serves as Principal in Charge of Design on all Line Company projects. Recently, Mrs. Rhodin has successfully completed a rezoning of a commercial site in downtown Lexington, MA for multi-family residential use, applying the concept of “smart growth”. This 30 unit condominium project will be LEED Certified and offer the first multi unit residential development in New England using the “rain screen” technology. Together with her husband, they are both the Architect and part of the development team in this project.

In 2001, Taina designed and developed with her husband, a two unit condominium project in Belmont using pre manufactured custom designed wall panels from Sweden. This 4,700 s.f. building was weather tight with all exterior finishes in one week. Several news articles on this high end construction technique came in the local papers and The Boston Globe, including the editorial section, “A New Idea in Housing”, 02-01-02. Mayor Thomas Menino and Boston Redevelopment Authority director Mark Maloney toured the home. In addition to this residential project she has been active designing a number of single family residential projects, both new homes as well as several additions and interior renovations.

Taina Rhodin’s design expertise was developed through several years of design responsibilities in her native Scandinavia, working with prominent Finnish architect, Reima Pietila. Her work in Finland and Sweden included a government complex in Kuwait, and two historic church renovations with additions and a rectory. Prior to partnering with her husband Erik Rhodin in Line Company she was a designer for several prominent Boston firms including, The Architects Collaborative, Jung and Brannen Associates, and Moshe Safdie and Associates. While working with Moshe Safdie she was the lead designer under Architect Safdie on Esplanade Condominiums in Cambridge, MA., a 70 unit residential project overlooking Boston and the Charles River.

Taina has entered many architectural design competitions with her husband, both in the United States and in Scandinavia and has received awards for housing, and second price in a national maritime museum competition in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She lives in Belmont, Massachusetts with her husband and two boys Emil and Henrik.
