At MAA, Listening to You is Our Top Priority

Our highly personalized design process amplifies your ideas with the expertise and imagination of our expert creative team.

Explore the Vision/IdeaWe discover and capture your initial concept through intensive listening. We develop design options in the context of the site to strike an ideal balance between standing out and harmonizing with surrounding buildings.

Create an Initial Master PlanWe use state-of-the-art tools, including 3D rendering and Virtual Reality software, to breathe life into your idea. We also visit manufacturers and suppliers to get "hands-on" with selecting materials and guiding production processes.

Refine the DesignWe iterate and perfect the concept based on feedback from your team, find innovative ways to solve design challenges, dive into details, and explore pros and cons. We also find ways to push the envelope while adhering to building codes and requirements.

Produce Construction Documents—We create initial blueprints for the general contractor and subcontractors to review, allowing us to validate the practicality of building the structure as designed and make any necessary adjustments.

Collaborate for Maximum ValueWe partner with the construction team to identify additional improvement and cost savings areas without compromising the building’s aesthetics or functionality. Our goal is to maximize your budget without sacrificing quality.

Oversee ExecutionWe are available to help troubleshoot the unexpected on your project from start to finish. We offer on-site oversight to ensure the finished project adheres to the original vision so you can be proud of the outcome.

Our Process Personalized

Our collaborative framework is tailored to your specific needs. At the end of the day, it’s not just about creating a beautiful building; it’s about building a solid relationship.

Experience architecture and design that's uniquely YOURS.

Creating Remarkable Spaces Requires Vision, Skill, and Commitment

What Is YOUR Creative Context?
Many architectural firms want to create a monument to their own style, even if it’s out of place. Others think that the style of a structure should be dictated by industry norms, resulting in bland and repetitive designs. We believe context matters in architecture and interior design and that every project and every city has unique elements that should be honored. 

What Are YOUR Practical Priorities?
Designing for function, form, and financial practicality can be a delicate balancing act. Our personalized discovery and design process includes all these goals so we can deliver on your priorities without losing sight of budget realities. 

What Is YOUR Bigger Picture?
Access to a team with a broad skill set means more perspective and smarter problem-solving in design. We go beyond architecture to include specialization in interior design, urban planning, space planning, graphic design, LEED®/sustainability, construction, BIM/REVIT design, 3D visualization, and more.
