Mary Cook Associates

CHEERS | Wishing you a very, Mary Holiday! Thank you for being a part of the MCA family and for always giving us something to celebrate.

IMPACT | MCA wrapped up the installation at Presidential Gardens Clubhouse earlier this month. When immersed in the space you can't help but feel the design impact created through dimensional backgrounds, architectural divisions, and strategic repetition of elements + lines which has a visceral affect and enhances the resident's experience.

STUDENT HOUSING | MCA provides comprehensive commercial interior design services for student housing including interior and exterior amenity spaces and model units. Here's a look at our well-merchandised student residence model at Lapis at FIU by Toll Brothers Campus Living.

FIELD TRIP | Last week, a few MCA designers attended BLEND, an interactive event at Middleby that focused on the crossover of commercial + residential design. The designers learned about new appliances and several new vendors for multifamily that are sure to enhance the resident experience.

PALETTE | A look at the selections for the amenities at Verve, a student housing community, by Subtext. Inspired by the feeling of 'home', the MCA design team's approach embraces the authenticity of southern living with a modern twist.

DELIVERING SOON | Installation is underway at Navona, a new luxury apartment community, by Toll Brothers located in Mesa, AZ. We are closer to debuting MCA's curated interior approach that places a focus on an active, fun and vibrant community with a strong use of color balanced by cleaner, geometric forms. This will be something unlike anything Mesa has seen and is sure to produce measurable results.

ELEVATE LIVING | MCA founder and president, Mary Cook, is featured in Builder and Developer magazine and explores the topic of master-planned communities. https://loom.ly/2nfqlug
