Our firm believes that exceptional design connects people with space and with each other. We create meaningful spaces with a modern aesthetic by recognizing structure, the balance between interior and exterior, and the relationship of a site with its architecture, regardless of its size or complexity.
Rigorous planning and creative design drive our thinking and execution, while collaboration encourages our team towards deeper discussion, establishing a common language and preferred direction. Collaboration engages clients as a critical part of the design team, and with construction professionals, it creates an environment of partnership towards a common goal.

My wife and I purchased a 1955 ranch with the intent to begin a major renovation and add-on to the original house. Mathison worked to develop a concept, floor plan, and structure around our goals and preferences embracing the project all along the way. When we came to terms with the fact that the existing structure should be removed, Mathison modified and improved the design. Always available and extremely responsive Mathison listened to us at every step. In the end, we couldn't be happier. The house fits us perfectly and the design is stunning.

I has always been a pleasure working with the crew at Mathison Mathison. As an organization focused on accessibility for persons with disabilities, we know that they have a commitment to excellence that far exceeds meeting the bare minimums of the ADA and the Michigan Construction Code. They understand the critical aspects of dialogue and exploration about new concepts and I have witnessed them practice these in every interaction. The results have been beautiful buildings that are welcoming and accessible for all. I couldn't recommend their team more highly.
