As a full service design firm, McDonald Architects focuses on custom residential architecture. We offer remodeling, rehabilitation and new construction architectural services with a commitment to design and service excellence.What makes us unique? It is the understanding that there are three primary variables to the Design Process: The Client, The Site and The Architecture. Why is this important? The Client: It is our primary goal that the design we create with you will fully realize your needs and aspirations. The Site: We find the site to be equally important, not only because that is where your new home will sit, but because great architecture celebrates its environment. We seek, in our architectural designs, to embrace the landscape by weaving your needs and aspirations into the fabric of the land. Each site is different. Each client is different. Each home should be different.The Architecture: Every style of Architecture embodies a set of relationships between the visual details, shape and feel of the spaces and general massing or form of the building(s). Our goal is to understand, re-interpret and employ these relationships by wrapping them around your needs, giving expression to your desires while celebrating the landscape where you have chosen to make a home. The Architecture provides the framework we will utilize to weave your home into the landscape. Working together, we will balance your resources, fulfill your needs and realize your aspirations. As we guide you through the Design Process, we will also assist you in prioritizing many areas of potential interest such as sustainability, durability and resource conservation. Together we will create a beautiful home that not only lives well but also is in harmony with its environment.
