How can we help you?
Maxey Design Group, a boutique design practice, works closely with you to achieve your dream-not to impose our style on your project.
​
We are a combined architectural design and urban design practice providing complete luxury residential design services. The benefit of combining the architecture and urban design disciplines is that each informs the other. Incorporating community perspectives yields better architectural outcomes and results in projects that can be more likely to receive community approval during the public review process.
​
We employ up to the minute software and will provide you photo realistic renderings and walkthroughs that illustrate exactly what your project will look like and what the alternatives you are considering would look like side by side. This saves time and expense and ensures you are building exactly what you intend with no surprises during construction.

What is Visual Simulation?
Visual simulation is a standardized method of representing what proposed projects objectively can be expected to look like; the extent of visibility, character, and what they might be like to move through as pedestrians.
​​
This tool can assist decision makers, community members, and designers gain a clear understanding of potential visual impacts so they may make appropriate design recommendations on proposed projects before they are built.

How We Work with Clients
Maxey Design Group's process for delivering top-notch architectural services is straightforward and effective. We begin by listening to our clients' needs, goals, and vision for their project. From there, our team of talented designers works with clients to develop their unique and personalized design solution that meets all of the required specifications.
We strive to create projects that meet the architectural and aesthetic goals, while also creating spaces that foster good health, safety and comfort. A well designed space should draw you inside to experience a sense of well being
Our approach to design is about organizing space for human activity and social interaction. This approach is informed by our experience in urban design-creating the space between buildings. Forms, how we move through space as we use it, light quality and indoor air quality affect how we feel, our health and how we interact with others. Our focus is on how people feel and interact in the spaces we create.
