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 master planning team brings to every campus planning project. We bring creative, new directions in campus master planning and apply them to updating or revising specific campus districts, new building initiatives, and rebranding efforts.
INTERIOR DESIGN + FF&E
Interior design and FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) work together to enhance spaces. Our interior design services aim to create environments that blend beauty and functionality, focusing on layouts and finishes. FF&E involves selecting and coordinating movable elements like furniture and lighting. Together, they create cohesive and uplifting spaces tailored to any project’s size or budget, improving daily life through thoughtful design.
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 problemsolving helps us deliver the best solutions for each project and leads our clients where they want to go.
DONE
The resulting building is the physical manifestation of the careful and thoughtful consideration applied through discovery and design.



Their attention to detail in making sure the client comes first was their priority from start to finish on this project. The key being their responsiveness with suggestions as well as recommendations, along with follow up. As a customer with a tight budget and a tight timeline... the Marmon Mok team met all of our expectations.
- Stan Laing, Executive Director of Athletics | Northside Independent School District


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.
21ST CENTURY LEARNING
We design K-12 learning environments that foster curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. Our flexible spaces, infused with natural light and advanced technology, cater to diverse learning styles. We create adaptable areas—like neighborhoods, collaboration spaces, and maker spaces that empower students and educators.

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.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

EDGEWOOD ISD
San Antonio, Texas
The Roy Cisneros Elementary School campus replacement involved demolishing outdated buildings with structural issues and no apparent entrance. The metal-frame library was retained and renovated, while the damaged gymnasium was torn down. The narrow site sloped toward a drainage channel to the west, and the parking lot on the east was expanded for access from Ruiz and Arbor Streets. The campus is divided into two zones: a public area on the east for administration, a cafeteria/ kitchen, a library, and a private area for classrooms and facilities, all secured by ornamental fencing. The design avoids a “back of house” appearance and includes a marked entrance with a small entry tower as part of the new canopy system.
