Marsden Architects is a full-service architecture firm based in North Lake Tahoe, California. We are the realization of a unique vision for what a small architecture firm can be. Our intimate size allows us to take a holistic approach to the design process, giving each project the individualized hands-on attention and enthusiasm required to create exceptional architecture.

It is our mission to create architecturally inspiring homes that respond to the dynamic needs of our clients with reference to their lifestyles, families, and personalities. Beyond providing shelter from the elements, we believe a well-designed home also serves to elevate the human spirit and enhance the lives of its inhabitants. We achieve this level of design success by focusing on creativity, quality, and communication.

We bring original concepts and ideas to every project. We are thoughtful and thorough in each step of the design process, from first design schematics to construction document production. We invest in cutting edge technology that allows us to utilize the latest in 3D modeling software, graphics, and virtual reality to bring our designs to life. Most importantly, we first listen carefully to the client to interpret their vision for the project team.

From conception to completion, we strive to make each creative project an exciting, collaborative, and enjoyable process for all involved. At MAI the passion is in the process - we love our craft and remain grateful every day for the rewarding work we get to do and the wonderful clients we work with.

**★★★★★ — Emily Roose Interiors, Jan. 2024**

> As an interior designer I appreciate working with architects that are not only creative, but also fun to collaborate with. I have worked with Ryan (Sensitive Information Hidden) for a number of years and it is always a pleasure to work with him and his talented staff. He creates spaces that fit his clients and I enjoy working with them to create an overall cohesive design that we all love in the end. I highly recommend Marsden Architects and I look forward to our next project together.
