Organization

Organization Description: 

Metropolitan Architecture Studio is a full service professional architecture, planning and interior design firm established to provide services for sustainable design. We create environmentally friendly landscapes, buildings, and interior workplaces. We focus on environmental factors such as indoor air quality, daylighting, building materials, renewable energy resources, cabron neutral building design, high performance building design, and resource efficient building design. We also specialize in creating New Urban neighborhoods and have designed numerous mixed use neighborhood plans and master plans ranging from the scale of a single block to that of hundreds of acres. We also specialize in the creation of design guidelines and form based codes.

We believe every project is a creative, collaborative effort between our office and each client. Our clients' concerns are our top priority and we take pride in our responsiveness to their issues. A keen awareness, sensitivity and understanding of client requirements such as budgetary constraints, scheduling issues, and design criteria, along with our knowledge of architecture and the construction process allows Metropolitan Architecture Studio to best meet the needs and desires of our clients and to go beyond their expectations. We strive to intensely engage our clients in the design process.

We are committed to creating enduring works of architecture, planning and interior design that clients and communities can be proud of over time. We seek to create inspiring architecture, cities, neighborhoods, and interiors that positively affect the users' quality of life. Our goal is to not only meet the needs of our clients but to elevate their spirits through thoughtful, high quality and inspired design.
