"Beauty and Purpose....Our goal is to create architecture that is personally and culturally useful, giving form and purpose to built space." Marcus Gleysteen Marcus Gleysteen Architects (MGa) is a full service architectural firm specializing in residential design. We are located in Boston, MA. At MGa, we look beyond general stylistic preferences. Individual combinations of clients, programs and locations generate unique opportunities that demand specific solutions. We believe that each new project contains the potential for personal and professional development in all aspects of our work. While upholding what we perceive to be timeless principles of our chosen discipline, we know that each project requires a fresh and critical eye in relation to the specific and unique characteristics of our clients’ goals. At MGa, each of our projects is a process of discovery that results in purposeful beauty. Marcus Gleysteen Architects is run as a studio. Every project is personally directed by Marcus Gleysteen, leading a team of talented and extremely capable architects and designers through the design, documentation and construction phases. Each task is defined in a manner that fulfills client objectives while expanding the capabilities and skills of all who work on them. The result is a dynamic discourse between established insights and experience and new perspectives in the service of better design. Each completed project brings new insights and lines of inquiry. Through research, either within our own library of books, journals, and magazines; on the web or more importantly, travel, including conferences and symposiums; we are constantly engaging the evolving world of design around us. We are committed to the thoughtful and efficient use of client resources, physical materials, and energy. Our design reflects culture and history in conjunction with the evolving requirements of contemporary life.
