Since 1994, MGC Design has characterized architectural design with a recognition for our clients' needs as well as an undertaking to designing structures that have a lasting place in the community. We deliver feasible and practical designs that also satisfy budgets, schedules, and functional requirements. Our aesthetic designs are firmly established in accuracy, distinctness, planning, strategy, and the clients’ active participation. We base our creative works to the design of residential houses, educational & facilities, office buildings, commercial/retail buildings, financial institutions, and urban development - some of which have already withstood the test of time, others of which are on their way to becoming landmarks.

Our clients are partners, not customers. The conception, planning, and design of a building that is aesthetically superior and also functions properly and efficiently relies on a great foundation. The partnership between client and architect is where we believe that foundation begins. To offer design solutions, which are practical, functional, and innovative, we clarify and commit to time, budget, and overall expectations. We understand the emotional investment involved with every project. We listen and learn about how you work, your plans for growth, what you like, and how you need the design process to unfold. We then apply that knowledge to the design process to ensure that the finished project meets and exceeds all of your needs.

Our commitment to the character and quality of each project starts with our highly qualified architects and engineers who share the vision of each project. With our principal architect leading the way, our staff offers flexile and diverse skills that enable us to meet the challenges and requirements of projects of any size or type. We work in harmonic, efficient teams that provide our clients with extensive work that meets expectations - most often, surpasses them. The diverse and comprehensive experience of our associates, including our principals, is what makes MGC DESIGNS distinct from others. It is also what allows us to create the future landmarks of tomorrow.
