ABOUT THE TEAM

MC3 Design was established by John and Maya McKenna as a family-owned architectural services firm based out of Northern Virginia. The firm was built on the philosophy that the best way to truly understand a client's needs is to know them on a personal level. Each family has an individual style and ideas of how to best use their space. We take pride in our work and our relationships, ensuring that each client has a single primary point of contact to provide consistency throughout the project's lifecycle.


The firm has 8 years experience in residential and commercial design and over 5 years of experience in residential design-build.
