Team - Mayes Office

PEOPLE COMMUNITY CRAFT

Founded in 2004, MAYES OFFICE (MO) is a multi-disciplinary practice that designs various project types and scales across North America. From residential homes and multi-family developments, to hospitality and office projects, hardscape design, and cultural spaces, we believe buildings and spaces should serve a functional purpose while evoking an emotional and aesthetic response from those interacting with them. Our goal is to craft designs that not only meet the practical needs of our clients but also inspire and uplift the senses, enrich the users' experiences, and benefit the surrounding community.

Client participation is critical to the success of any project. We understand that every client is different, and each project is unique and requires a tailored approach. That's why we work closely with our clients from the outset, actively engaging with them to ensure their ideas and feedback are incorporated into the design. This collaborative approach adds personal value to their investment and results in projects that reflect their vision and lifestyle.

Our holistic design approach revolves around a deep comprehension of the project's objectives, restrictions, surroundings, and goals. Every project presents unique obstacles and possibilities; therefore, our design process must be adaptable to meet these demands and attain optimal results. We take into account the entire lifecycle of a building or space, evaluating aspects such as performance, sustainability, and wellness while considering the social and cultural context to ensure a harmonious integration into the environment and community. Our flexible and adaptable process allows us to handle any project type, focusing on delivering high-quality results.
