About MG Architects
Founded in 1987, MG Architects has a strong history of experience in the design and construction of commercial buildings, institutional housing, multi-family housing, single-family residences, senior living facilities and religious projects.
Our clients include not-for-profit corporations, developers, religious institutions and homeowners—and we’ve earned the respect and repeat business from many of their not-for-profit, developer and institutional clients.
Our Approach and Abilities
We’re committed to co-creating with our clients. That means identifying project solutions that are creative, efficient and functional, within the requirements of each project’s program, budget and schedule. Once we’ve determined the best approach, we work diligently to provide the highest quality of service.
Our experience includes working on both existing and new buildings. We are especially adept at the adaptive reuse, preservation and restoration of historical buildings, and other detail-oriented projects that demand nothing short of excellence.
