Architects Matthew Moger and Kirby Mehrhof, who have practiced independently for more than two decades, cofounded Moger Mehrhof Architects (MMA) in 2009 on the philosophical basis that architecture requires a creative exploration of the relationship between dwellings and the landscape they inhabit. Believing that buildings are bridges that form and retain connections to nature, to culture and among people, they consistently recognize the positive impact that structures can have on people's lives. MMA practices what we like to call Responsible Design (also known as Sustainable and or Green Design). Our designs derive inspiration from nature, and in turn, seek to create a balance between the built and natural environment.
