Design Awards & Recognition

Design does matter: both for aesthetics – art and beauty, and the science – innovation and reliability, of architecture. Architecture has a major impact on how we live, work, and play every day. Architecture is who we are; it defines our space and place; it has the power to motivate and inspire. 

At Morrison Kattman Menze, we believe architecture must be about enhancing communities by design, and excellence in design must integrate the entire process from design through construction, including all of the disciplines from engineering and architecture to landscape architecture and interior design. The result can be spectacular, a project that does indeed enhance the community. Excellence in design is not expensive. It is not an application, nor a threat to the project’s budget. It is all about good and efficient planning and design, and it is entirely affordable.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to partner with many great clients who have appreciated our creative talents. Great clients make great architects (not the other way around), and the results can speak for themselves.
