While we love sharing Construction Updates and Behind the Design posts for projects that we are currently working on, we also occasionally enjoy looking back at our past work. Recently, we’ve been working on putting together some videos and materials for Tranquil Abiding. We completed this home back in July of 2020 and it was

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. Often, our clients want indoor space that flows seamlessly into an outdoor living space. In other cases, we are designing a number of outdoor spaces, each with their own

It’s hard to believe that we haven’t yet done a construction update on South Mountain House!

In the past few months, we’ve kicked off a lot of new projects. We shared some of them in January’s On the Boards post and are looking forward to sharing details on others soon. Lately we’ve also had many potential client calls asking us about our design process, so we thought we’d start a new

Sitting on a ridge line with spectacular views of distant mountains, the primary living space has to feature expansive windows. At the same time, a fireplace to cozy up next to is a must, and a television and media center will play

This month we are sharing an update on one of our very own construction management projects, Kaat Cliffs. Things have been moving along steadily at the site in Saugerties – we are looking forward to starting framing very soon. A lot has happened since our last update – and a lot of work involving heavy

We thought it would be fun to start the year by sharing some of our new projects “On the Boards”. We’ve been working on these projects throughout the fall and winter and are looking forward to most of them starting construction in 2021. It’s especially exciting to have such a diverse and fun group of

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
