Architecture Built Around Humanity | DMA

What We Do

Our Philosophy

/

/

The best structures are inspired by the people they serve and focused on improving the communities they create.

River Place Mixed-Use Project

Located on the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, NC. The design extends Bijou Park through the project. The extension widens into a 3rd floor retail plaza overlooking the river. The pedestrian oriented project links the river walk with downtown. The design grows the magic of the downtown historic district.

Open plan with all rooms oriented to maximize views of the mountains and woods.

Modern warehouse located near the NJ Turnpike. Building is occupied by Amazon.

Forney Renovation

Gutted a Carnegie Library down to the existing structural elements of floors, walls, and roof. Designed a new building interior. Restored the building exterior. Demolished and rebuilt the back of the building to make the entire building 2 stories throughout. Plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems were replaced and modernized.

Brick and Timber Lakefront Home

Open plan with all rooms oriented to maximize views of the lake, wetlands, and woods. Key features include a music room and adjacent living space designed for musical performances. Energy efficiency achieved through LED lighting and spray foam insulation.

Weaver Crossing and Walgreens

The high-bay office space on the north end of the building is housed inside a rectangular glass prism to create a signature architectural element at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Weaver Dairy Road. High-performance glass, roof overhangs, and motorized shades reduce glare and solar heat gain. Walgreens is designed in a matching architectural style.

Georgian Interior

Custom wood trim, doors, railings, and paneling. Mahogany sitting room and study.
