MM Architects strives to make the architectural design process meaningful for their clients as well as themselves. The design process is a shared one. Whether they are designing a school, a dentist office or a residence, they want their clients to value the possibility of architectural theory in the buildings they will use every day. MM Architects empowers their clients with the knowledge of how design can address their practical, economic, political, environmental and aesthetic concerns. Rather than approaching a project with a zealous design stance that marks the style of the firm, Maryann and Donald work to understand the particular needs and concerns of each client. Through careful listening and analysis, MM Architects develops a specific design approach based on these needs. During the design process MM Architects assembles a specific team of engineers and contractors who can best realize the project. Throughout the construction phase, MM Architects diligently ensures the client’s initial needs are maintained so that the architectural process translates into a building that they enjoy inhabiting everyday.
Thus, the unique character of the buildings MM Architects designs doesn’t mark their firm’s particular "style," "look" or agenda, but rather the design process they share with each of their clients. The result of this process is good design.
