Over 100 projects which include Corporate Offices, Medical Offices, Nursing Homes and Hospitals.

Our firm is dedicated to the success of each project placed in our charge.  The principals are totally involved in each phase of the project’s development.  This “hands-on” approach offers a continuity and successful transition for each phase of documentation and construction while providing the client with the “First Team” throughout the project’s duration.  We have built our reputation on being responsive to our client’s needs and take pride in the fact that our design solutions are aesthetically pleasing, functional and cost effective.

PHILOSOPHY

At MBH ARCHITECTURE, we are constantly striving to achieve the delicate balance that exists between satisfying our client’s functional needs, and creating aesthetic environments that elevate the human spirit and stimulate the accomplishments of their users.

 It is within this context that we have come together as a blend of enthusiastic, dedicated and skilled professionals eager to earn the confidence and respect of each and every client that we serve.  This is evident in the fact that the largest body of our work is with repeat clients.  Our ability to listen and interpret our client’s needs, is a fundamental part of our operating philosophy.

 We encourage a team approach to the challenges of architecture and interior design where the client, the chosen consultants, and the contractor combine with our staff members at MBH ARCHITECTURE, in a common effort to satisfy the needs, the hopes and aspirations of all of those involved.
