An active, widely recognized studio-sized design firm, Mashek MacLean Architects, Inc. has provided architectural design and planning services to educational institutions, towns, museums, country clubs, non-profit organizations and private residential clients throughout New England since incorporation in 1975. MMA relocated its offices from Long Wharf in Boston to the island of Martha’s Vineyard in 2007. The principals at MMA – Martha’s Vineyard architects, Stephanie Mashek and Kenneth MacLean, Jr. – take a personal role in the development and completion of each phase of every project, actively running the firm’s projects from concept through construction. Offering a personal, hands-on approach to the collaborative process of design, the principals are known by their clients to be flexible, patient and extremely good listeners. Design Approach Covering a diverse range of building types and settings, what ties MMA’s portfolio together is not the imposition of a signature “MMA Style,” but a commitment to contextual design, seeking solutions that grow out of existing built and natural settings. We design buildings that fit into existing architectural and site context, taking cues from existing styles and patterns to create a fresh and appropriate architectural language. That language is composed using strong organizational principles, executed with sustainability-conscious and budget-conscious technical skill. MMA’s approach requires considerable on-site investigation and observation of buildings, landscape, documents, and history. We are best known for the design of buildings that fit overall context, not solo, attention-seeking structures that stand aloof from their surroundings.
