About Us

A wood-framed building under construction.


At MJV Architecture, we strive to be the only Architecture firm you’ll ever want to work with again. We are on your team, and every decision we make together will be to maximize the value of your investment and fulfill your vision.

Embarking on a new construction project can be daunting, it is a large investment that takes a significant amount of time to complete, and can present many challenges to overcome. Working with an Architect should be the easiest part of the process, and not a point of frustration and contending with big egos. We were founded in 2024 with the vision that we could do it better – that we could provide better service, quality designs, organized documentation, clear communication, and the right attitude. With over 16 years of experience, we are ready to tackle any project in Maryland. We specialize in design for commercial, industrial, restaurant, and retail spaces, but we are always open to new, exciting, or challenging projects of any type.

We will work with you to understand all of your needs and develop a solution to meet them. Our goal is to provide a complete approach for the design that meets your deadlines and budget, and provides you with an excellent experience. We bring with us a large network of trusted consultants, contractors, sub-contractors, and vendors that all play a vital role in making your project the best it can be. We are creative and can work with you to develop “outside the box” solutions that maximize your project’s potential. Our goal is to not only meet, but anticipate your needs, and ensure that you have a seamless experience working with us.

Our process for every design project is to have an initial introductory meeting to familiarize everyone with the project, the team members, and the overall goals. We will use the information from this meeting to prepare a customized document that delves into all the project specifics and charts the course for the remainder of the project. We will take the time to discuss optional redundancies and alternatives “up front” with you to minimize any hurdles that can impact your project in the future, such as implementing phasing for permits, accounting for lead times, and potentially pursuing permits concurrently to help keep your project on budget and on schedule. We will work with you to develop a realistic schedule that addresses both known and potential unplanned circumstances in advance.

We are a licensed, registered, and insured Architectural Firm. We currently hold a license in Maryland and will be expanding into surrounding areas in the near future.
