Participating Firm Descriptions and Contacts
Marts & Valentin Architects LLC
We are a group of architects. It is our professional belief that sustainable, and energy efficient buildings can be achieved with a commonsense approach to design. Designed buildings should co-exist with the built environment by taking advantage of the characteristics of the neighborhood and by using straight-forward, familiar materials. Therefore, we offer custom design and construction services to clients on an individual basis.
