The MC3 Design team doesn’t just build houses; they craft homes. A family-owned firm, they prioritize personal connections and truly understanding their client’s vision. MC3’s leadership combines architectural expertise with engineering acumen, ensuring both beautiful design and sound construction. 

“Translating your vision into reality is our specialty,” says John McKenna, MC3’s principal architect and managing director. The MC3 team begins by listening intently to your ideas, needs and lifestyle. They then leverage their extensive experience and design expertise to develop a plan that captures the essence of your vision while adhering to budget and feasibility. “We’ll guide you through every detail from initial concept to the final finishing touches, ensuring the end product reflects your unique style and exceeds your expectations,” McKenna says.

MC3 provides its clients support from the very start. “We understand that building or renovating a home can be daunting,” says MC3’s Director of Design and Operations Maya Chehab. “That’s why we prioritize clear communication, transparency and meticulous project management.” MC3 handles every detail, keeping their clients informed and involved every step of the way. Their goal is to allow clients to focus on the excitement of seeing their dream home come to life.

While beautiful design is essential, a truly successful home must also be functional and sustainable. MC3 considers factors like energy efficiency, material durability and long-term value in every decision they make. Their architectural and engineering backgrounds ensure your home is not only beautiful, but also built to last.
