Services

1.

Site Analysis & Feasibility Studies

We help clients assess the potential of their property by evaluating important factors such as zoning laws, environmental impact, and market trends. This critical step ensures that you can move forward confidently, knowing the project is viable and primed for success. Whether you’re building from scratch or repurposing an existing space, our feasibility studies provide clarity before the design process even begins.

2.

Conceptual & Architectural Design

Our design process begins by understanding and translating your vision into preliminary sketches and models. This conceptual design phase focuses on creative solutions, site layout, and the overall look and feel of the project. As we move into full architectural design, we refine these ideas into detailed plans that integrate functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability, ensuring a project that is not only beautiful but highly efficient and tailored to your needs.

3.

Interior Design

The interiors of a space are just as important as the structure itself. Our interior design team works to create cohesive, inviting environments by selecting materials, finishes, and furnishings that complement the architecture. Whether you want a modern, minimalistic feel or something more luxurious and vibrant, we design spaces that reflect your style and purpose.

4.

Custom Furniture & Product Design

For clients seeking a truly unique environment, we offer custom furniture and product design services. Our team can create bespoke pieces that enhance the overall aesthetic of your space, ensuring every detail feels intentional and aligned with the project’s vision.

5.

Branding & Identity Design

For commercial or hospitality projects, we understand the importance of cohesive branding. Our services extend beyond architecture to include branding and graphic design, helping you create a seamless experience across physical spaces and digital platforms. This ensures your brand identity is reflected throughout, from the architecture to the customer experience.

6.

Technical Production & Documentation

Precision is key to turning design into reality. We create detailed construction documents, 3D models, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to ensure that every part of the design is executed flawlessly on-site. These technical tools allow for clear communication between architects, contractors, and clients, minimizing errors and ensuring the project stays on track.

7.

Permitting & Regulatory Coordination

We handle the complex task of navigating local regulations and securing the necessary permits. Our knowledge of government processes allows us to move your project forward smoothly, avoiding delays and ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.

8.

Construction Management & Administration

Once construction begins, we provide hands-on oversight, acting as your advocate throughout the building process. We coordinate with contractors, manage the budget, and ensure that everything stays aligned with the original design. Our goal is to make sure your vision is realized to the highest standard, on time and within budget.

9.

Renovation & Adaptive Reuse

We specialize in breathing new life into existing buildings. Whether it’s a historic structure that needs to be preserved or a space being adapted for a new use, we approach renovations with a focus on maintaining integrity while updating for modern functionality. Our adaptive reuse services allow clients to transform spaces without losing their original character.

Why Choose M-Rad?

We offer end-to-end solutions for architecture, design, and branding, ensuring that every project is handled with creativity, precision, and care. From the first site analysis to the final touches, our goal is to provide an experience that goes beyond traditional architecture—building environments that reflect your vision and elevate the way people interact with spaces.
