Love Home 2022 – Happy Valentine’s Day!
We like to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a post we like to call “Love Home”. We started this series back in 2014, with a post sharing what some of our readers love about their homes. All of your answers were so good that we’ve continued the series nearly every year. From inspiration from friends, to
Behind the Scenes: An Introduction to Construction Management
In the past three years, we’ve made a big move at Studio MM. After working in close collaboration with a number of local contractors for more than five years, we decided to start building our own Construction Management team. This doesn’t mean that we’ve stopped working with other contractors. We truly enjoy working with all
New Projects on the Boards: January 2022
We’ve recently taken on a number of new projects – and one of them is already starting to tackle permitting! We thought it was about time to give one of our favorite updates and share our new projects on the boards! This batch includes a number of exciting renovations. We’re working on transforming a round
Design Inspiration: Modern Homes in Winter
After the winter weather last week, we’ve been dreaming of modern homes in winter settings. We often get questions from clients about whether being upstate during the winter is really worth it. They also often have questions about whether our homes are good for four seasons – especially with so much glass! We’re thrilled to
Construction Update January: BC Retreat
We’re kicking off the new year by checking in on BC Retreat! Last time we did an update on this project, windows install had started and the house wrap had gone up. Since then, most of the windows have been fully installed and siding install is progressing well. In addition to the main house, we’ve

We put together a short video showcasing some of our favorite moments from the past
Construction Update December: Cluster One
Construction on Cluster One has been moving steadily along! In September, we had completed most of the exterior framing for the house, large part in thanks to a factory-built system. To give you another perspective on how it all happened, we’re sharing a timelapse video at the bottom of this post. Since then, we’ve made
Illustrating Our Process: Bidding, Value Engineering and Permitting
In our most recent blog post series that we’re calling Illustrating Our Process, we’ve been looking at each of our design phases through the lens of different visual tools we use. We’ve made it through all of the steps of the design process – Schematic Design, Exterior Design Development, Interior Design Development and Construction Documents
Behind the Scenes: November Team Offsite
At the beginning of November we took our most epic team offsite thus far. Marica was really excited to share with us a place that is especially dear to her – Boca Grande. A small island off of the coast of Tampa, Florida, Boca Grande is a sandy, sunny paradise. We especially enjoyed the sunny
Construction Update November: Rebus
Construction at Rebus has been moving along steadily over the course of the summer and into the fall. By last June, we had poured the footings and foundation walls, done some pretty extensive site work and were preparing formwork for the two story architectural concrete wall. We’ve progressed well past that point now! The concrete
