MMA named to Ocean Home magazine’s Top 50 Coastal Architects
Ocean Home magazine, one of the world’s premier publications for oceanfront residential design, lifestyle, and real estate, has selected MMA to its Top 50 Coastal Architects List. This is the fourth year in a row the firm has earned this honor.
This year, Ocean Home magazine’s annual Top 50 Coastal Architects listing changed its layout and structure to provide detailed highlights about each of the top 50 architecture firms selected for this prestigious honor across the United States.
Organized by state, MMA is listed again alongside the biggest names in the New England region’s top residential architecture firms. “We are quite pleased to have received this honor four years running,” says Anthony M. Frausto, AIA, LEED AP, associate principal at Morehouse MacDonald and Associates. “And the magazine’s editors gave us quite an appropriate nickname in their write-up calling us ‘The Adaptors’ because of our firm’s ability and history to respond to diverse regions and client interests.”
Of the top residential architects listed in Massachusettes, only Morehouse MacDonald and Associates has a national and international portfolio, reflecting our client’s confidence in our expertise and competences in diverse and demanding coastal environments.
This year, MMA is busy with several projects from existing clients as we adapt and expand existing properties better to suit clients’ needs in a post-pandemic world. The firm has recently finalized a contemporary oceanfront home on Cape Cod. It has other seaside projects in New Jersey, South Carolina’s Kiawah Island, and the West Indies and new projects in the mountains of Vermont and Metro Boston.
