MMA makes Ocean Home’s 2017 Top 50 Coastal Architects List
MMA has made Ocean Home magazine’s 2017 Top 50 Coastal Architects list, a significant industry honor given to many of the nation’s most important architecture firms.
“Our annual collection of the Top 50 Coastal Architects includes some of the most innovative, influential, and prolific architects in the world,” writes the magazine. “So, if you’re dreaming to build a one-of-a-kind home in a one-of-a-kind coastal location, chances are any one of the Top 50 architects listed here can help turn your design dreams into a reality.”
No doubt, MMA shares company with many of the nation’s most prestigious and award-winning architecture firms, and we are honored to have been selected for the Massachusetts region, alongside many of our local and regional competitive peers. Unlike, many of our local Massachusetts competitors, however, MMA has decades of experience designing coastal residential architecture across the entire eastern seaboard and in the West Indies.
MMA earns honors as Ocean Home magazine 2017 Top 50 Coastal Architects.
Our diverse experience across geography and country adds layers to our competencies in tackling any new coastal project. And it’s a reason why many of our Boston regional clients take us abroad because our more global track record has provided us with deeper knowledge and insight across a range of project sites, environmental conditions, cultural contexts, and localized building methods. In a nutshell, it’s our depth of experience across a diversity of situations from Maine in the northeast to Nevis in the West Indies that underwrites our expertise.
