Who We Are
MNM Architecture is boutique, woman-owned architecture firm dedicated to the design and execution of single-family homes, multi-family residences, commercial offices, retail, hospitality, and mixed-use projects within contexts of rural, suburban, and urban centers. The firm was established in 2022 with a commitment to design quality, attention to detail, collaboration, and incorporation of contemporary design trends. Each project is a collaborative effort that engages the owner, architect + designer, specialty consultants, and contractors, while meeting the local and state jurisdiction requirements. Services include, but are not limited to, full-service architecture, interior design, landscape design, code + zoning analysis, project management, and construction administration.
At MNM Architecture, our projects begin with our clients. We take the time to understand how they live, how they work, and what they believe a home, workspace, or business should be, both aesthetically and operationally. We work diligently to create a complete environment to meet each client’s functional, lifestyle, and visual needs. MNM Architecture seeks to unify exterior and interior spaces, engage each building with its surrounding community, while ensuring aesthetic longevity.
