The first signs of spring have brought a breath of fresh energy into the office – as well as a wave of new projects that we are all very excited about. From smaller renovation projects to new homes upstate, each of these projects is something special. Even as we are all looking towards a light

A number of our current projects are focusing their attention on one of the best parts of building a house in upstate New York: the outdoors.

We’ve been working on these projects throughout the fall and winter and are looking forward to most of them starting construction in 2021.

As you may have read in our Notes and News last week, 2020 was quite a year for Studio MM. Through all of the ups and downs, we were very grateful to be able to keep learning, designing, and staying positive. We’re hoping that 2021 is a smoother ride, but we’re also confident that after

As the year is winding down, many of our clients have been decorating for the holidays – so this week, we’re sharing a few snapshots of what holidays in some of our homes look like. It’s beginning to look a lot like…the end of 2020! From everyone at Studio MM, we’re wishing you a joyful
