Design is intuitive and construction is developed over time. Understanding architectural materials is an art best learned through practice: nothing trains the intuition better than handling and working with the actual building materials. Each material has unique physical properties and characteristics as well as emotional content. This content transforms as materials are combined. The Nguyen brothers’ extensive construction experience furnishes that preparation and offers inspiration for MC2’s designs.
Combining design and construction oversight yields a more direct and more efficient construction process. It also means straightforward communication which accelerates project completion and ensures a clear interpretation of the original design vision.
Inception-to-completion oversight produces better results We are designer/builders because we believe bringing a design to reality takes a consistent vision and oversight. Direct design execution by the firm helps realize the project vision. Providing construction services allows MC2 to monitor the construction process more closely, give more personal attention to detail and shape the project during construction. MC2 Architects' designer/builder role gives the architect and client better control of project execution for better results.
