Construction Update December: (Modern) Accord Depot
Very excited to share all of the recent progress on the (Modern) Accord Depot – a modern renovation of the historic Depot in downtown Accord, NY. This is a very fun project for us to see taking shape because there are so many special moments we designed in this home. Some are special because we
Modern Design Inspiration: Tower Houses 2.0
We’ve had a recent fascination in our office with tower houses because of 2 new designs we are working on… For both projects, our goal is to minimize footprint and maximize view. The schematic designs have evolved into an aesthetic similar to an extruded cube, so you may notice that theme in our inspiration images below. We also shared a lot of
Happy Thanksgiving 2018
What are you grateful for? This was the “question of the month” we posed in our last Newsletter. It’s nice – especially during this week of Thanksgiving – to take a moment to appreciate the many people and things we are grateful for… Here at Studio MM we are most grateful for our wonderful, trusting, inspiring
Design Inspiration for Small Spaces: Modern Sleeping Loft
We are working on a couple of small projects at the moment for which the idea of a modern sleeping loft has come up as inspiration for our designs. One is a Mini Modern Home we talked about on the blog a few weeks ago. The other is for a client who wants to keep
Construction Update November: Bully Hill House
We post a construction update at least once a month, and I know I’m always excited about what we’re doing. Today is no exception, yet somehow it seems like a much larger step in progress direction than merely the framing. We’ve dabbled in design-build a bit on this project and have a super team of contractors

Construction Update October: FLY Modern 2
Very excited to share the construction progress on FLY Modern (2) with you! Our contractors began building this house just a few months ago and by now the wall framing is almost complete. The footings and foundation walls were put in place first, but the contractor has elected to wait until after the roof is
Residential Design Inspiration: Modern Tree House
Floating House, Modern Tree House, Stilt House… By Tree House I don’t mean the playful, child-size treehouse that we think of in the backyard, though that would be fun to design! I mean a modern home that is ‘floating” above the ground. The easiest way I can think to describe this is as a “Modern Tree House”, and if
Construction Update September: CasaNooga + (Modern) Accord Depot
Very excited about all of the progress on our projects under construction lately! Today we’re sharing updates on CasaNooga, a modern home in “North Chatt”, Tennessee, and (Modern) Accord Depot, a renovation of the historic Train Depot in Accord, NY. Both projects are unique for us, but that’s our favorite part of everything we design!
Residential Design Inspiration: The Mini Modern Home
Everybody’s talking about “tiny homes” so why can’t we?! Small house, tiny home, micro cabin…it’s all the hype these days. And I can’t say I blame the hype – so many of these mini modern homes are super cool! We’ve been brainstorming lately for a client on how to create a very small dwelling unit
