About Us

Change is Constant

MGFA is small, but nimble, design force…  From the opening discourse, to turn key, MGFA always endeavors to exceed the projects expectations, bringing unique creativity, complex problem solving prowess, and collegial collaboration into the successful execution of all projects, both big and small.  

We explore for details, we discover them, and we solve them.  This does not only apply to imagery, it is woven into every aspect of the design and building process, from communication, to coordination, to the display and thoughtful curation of our drawings, to the teams we assemble, and contacts we have cultivated over time.  It is these details we embrace that facilitate a successful product every time.

Matthew has managed a wide range of project types over his 19 year career, from single family residential to the largest project in the world in Chongqing, China. He always endeavors to provide his clients with the highest degree of design excellence that embraces both the practical and compelling aspects of Architecture. He is committed to design that exceeds the given parameters of program, location, culture, place, space, and environmental stewardship. He does so through thoughtful discourse and the implementation of creative problem solving. Matthew’s problem-solving prowess is evidenced in his winning competition entry into the “what if nyc” international design competition, where the problem to be solved was post disaster relief housing in New York City. All factors are considered equally, as with nature, they are solved harmoniously, comprehensively and holistically.
