MMA makes Ocean Home’s 2018 Top 50 Coastal Architects List
Morehouse MacDonald and Associates has again earned a spot on Ocean Home magazine’s highly coveted Top 50 Coastal Architects list, for their 2018 compilation.
“Being recognized and honored by Ocean Home again for our work in seaside architecture is another boost of confidence in our adaptive and innovative design work and client-centered services,” says John S. MacDonald, AIA, principal of Morehouse MacDonald and Associates.
Over the past several years MMA has been graced with the opportunity to design bespoke custom homes for US and international clients, particularly in the West Indies but also close to home like on the famous Cap Cod seashore. “Working across large geographies has been an incredible education as we learn to both apply our overall knowledge to each new coastal project while simultaneously learning in situ on the project in hand,” says Anthony Frausto, AIA, LEED AP, associate principal.

When MMA works abroad and in states far from our Boston base of operations, we strive to leverage our connections across the eastern US, from general contractors and material suppliers to a host of engineering consultants. In each case, we formulate a top team that we feel will provide us the know-how we need to excel in any particular new environment.
MMA again earns the honor of being listed in Ocean Home magazine’s 2018 Top 50 Coastal Architects.
