MMA Selected for Ocean Home magazine’s Top 50 Coastal Architects
Ocean Home magazine, one of the world’s leading magazines for oceanfront lifestyle and real estate, has again selected MMA for the third year in a row for its prestigious Top 50 Coastal Architects List.
Our Boston firm has recently completed a stunning new home in the West Indies for an international client and is currently working on an estate that will raise the bar for residential properties at the Four Seasons Resort Estates on the island of Nevis.
“We are again thrilled to be selected to Ocean Home magazine’s Top 50 Coastal Architects List,” says John S. MacDonald, AIA, and principal of Morehouse MacDonald and Associates. “We recently finished what I have referred to as a once-in-a-lifetime project on a volcanic mountainside lot in the eastern Caribbean and we are thrilled with the final results.”
MMA’s stunning eastern Caribbean home is visible to the right of the inside contents page of the 2019 Ocean Home magazine Top 50 Coastal Architects issue. You can see much more of this stunning home here and here.
