We’re excited to share that Mottram Arch and Maines Design are merging to become Mottram & Maines. We design new homes, additions, and major renovations by treating the house as one integrated system, not a set of separate decisions. Design quality, comfort, indoor air quality, durability, climate performance, and budget stay linked from day one, so the finished home stays coherent through construction and delivers quiet performance for the long haul.
Mottram & Maines Is Here
Same people. Same standards. One name.
Our “why” is simple: more capacity, more shared knowledge, and more room to support the next wave of better building.
Two principals, one integrated approach.
We consider constraints and goals early, keep communication clear, and support construction so the finished home embodies the original intent.
Emily leads with design clarity and lived experience. She focuses on light, flow, proportion, and spaces that support real daily life, paired with details that hold up in the field.
