Our Story
At McDonald Architects, we're passionate about creating inviting spaces that bring people together. Our team of experts is dedicated to designing and building custom homes that reflect our clients' unique needs and desires. With a deep understanding of the complex relationships between design, functionality, and sustainability, we craft homes that not only stand the test of time but also celebrate the beauty of their surroundings.
Our Approach
At the heart of our process is a commitment to understanding our clients' aspirations and then marrying those desires with the unique qualities of the site. We believe that great architecture arises from a harmonious balance between the client's needs, the site's inherent characteristics, and the architecture itself. By wrapping these elements together, we create homes that are not only beautiful but also functional, sustainable, and deeply connected to their environment.
