MSA & Associates Inc. incorporates ancient sustainable solutions into modern Architectural projects. We have been eco-conscious long before it became a hot topic. Our first project which was created based on passive solar design has been finished over 30 years ago. We thrive on turning problem properties into wildly successful projects. We will take on things no one else would like to take. We have proved that we can turn allegedly unbuildable lots into lucrative development projects. For us it is important to leave a legacy of comfortable buildings and homes that are aesthetically pleasing yet blend harmoniously with the environment. We design and build green and energy efficient homes for our clients and ourselves because they are healthier as they have lighter footprint in this heavy footprint industry.
