SERVICES
ARCHITECTURE
We expand expectations. Architecture is an opportunity to improve people’s lives in both tangible and emotional ways that are often not anticipated in the beginning of a project. These unexpected opportunities enrich our work and amplify a project’s potential.
MASTER PLANNING
Combining the technical knowledge of data gathering and analysis for predicted campus growth with an artistic vision of defining campus space and organization is the approach that Marmon Mok’s team brings to every campus planning project. We generate creative, new directions and apply them to the revision of campus districts, new building initiatives, and rebranding efforts.
INTERIOR DESIGN + FF&E
Interior Design completes architecture. It adds beauty and function to the places where people live, work, and play every day. Our interior design creates the spaces that lift our spirits and improve our lives, no matter the project’s size or budget.
SUSTAINABILITY + WELLNESS
Sustainability and wellness go hand in hand. Prioritizing environmental stewardship and promoting wellness is crucial for our client’s well-being today and for future generations. Our design philosophy prioritizes sustainability from the beginning of each project. We aim to create visually appealing environments through thoughtful land use, mindful material selection, and responsible resource management.
DISCOVER
Every project is an exciting journey that allows us to delve deep into the vision, goals, constraints, and other factors that ultimately shape a building. We take pride in creating a uniquely tailored solution for our clients, leveraging every resource at our disposal to deliver the best possible outcome.
DESIGN
Design is a way of thinking. We believe that every place should elevate the spirit of every person. Focusing on the user experience to craft great places where people want to work, learn, play, and heal. Our team’s focused and skillful problem-solving helps us deliver the best solutions for each project and leads our clients where they want to go.

The resulting building is the physical manifestation of the careful and thoughtful consideration applied through discovery and design.

They listened and worked well with our Student and Residence Life departments and with our Facilities team. We also appreciated their thoughtful planning and mindfulness of budget and scope.”

RENDERINGS & VISUALIZATION
We use renderings to give our clients an accurate view of the completed space. The client can visualize the finished design and easily make alterations before anything has been constructed. This is also a great tool for the owner to market to potential donors for fundraising.
VIRTUAL REALITY
We are exploring new ways to help clients interact with their space during the design phase. Our visualization team can immerse you in your future space for you to walk around and experience the design first hand.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Marmon Mok leverages the prowess of Artificial Intelligence within its communication tools to elevate architectural innovation. By harnessing AIdriven algorithms, our tools refine project data into actionable insights, facilitating dynamic exchanges between our teams and clients, ultimately fostering a smarter, more intuitive design process.
AUGMENTED REALITY
AR gives you the ability to see an architectural hologram mixed with the environment. The lens adds a layer of digital 3d models to its real surroundings. Allowing the viewer to stay connected to its surroundings while seeing the virtual model.
