McKenzie & Associates Architects

Founded in 2001, Mackenzie Architects is known for our originality, resourcefulness, and people-first approach. Our portfolio covers a broad array of building sizes and types, with a particular focus on senior living, multifamily, mixed-use, modular construction, and healthcare. Developers of an innovative new prototype for loft housing, we are thought leaders in systems-built construction. Mackenzie Architects also calls upon decades of experience in all facets of senior housing-55 & older cottages, independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and Aging in Community-to work with those who want to shape a new definition of aging, retirement, and community for the 21st century.

Our approach focuses on creative yet highly functional solutions that marry originality and resourcefulness, improving quality-of-life through design. Employing multiple disciplines for maximum result, we achieve an integrated process and outcome for you by engaging owners, users, builders, facility managers, vendors, and operations personnel. Your needs as a client are paramount. We guide the collaborative process together with you, technical consultants, and user-groups to reflect the true needs of the project in a workable design and plan.

We take full accountability for achieving your objectives and predetermined targets. We also favor careful initial planning to avoid both costly changes or the need for reactive "crisis management". We build commitment and buy-in around your project's critical decisions - involving stakeholders in the discussion and analysis throughout the process, while keeping the project within defined parameters. With 100+ senior living and multifamily projects from 16 to 800 units, we're committed to providing you with attractive, flexible, and functional solutions, as illustrated by our work in systems-built construction.

Senior Living

National in scope and broad in focus, our senior living focus ranges from independent living and assisted living to dementia and skilled nursing. With 30+ years of experience, we create homelike, sustainable environments that foster dignity and embrace community. From independent living and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing, we have experience in all facets of senior housing.

Multifamily

Developers of a new prototype for loft housing, we specialize in innovative solutions for multifamily and multi-use concepts. From urban communities to rural clusters of cottages, we balance context, site, market, and budget to bring your vision to life.

Modular

Industry leaders in systems-built construction, we've seen first hand how this technology can transform project outcomes. Modular design improves factors of time, cost, and quality-subject only to our team's creativity, innovation, and commitment. Instead of being at the mercy of the elements, systems-built construction fabricates components within an indoor, controlled environment. This allows workers to concentrate on what they do best- build. Not only does this result in a higher quality product, but running offsite and onsite construction concurrently can shave months off a construction schedule. Flexible prototypes support design consistency, and costs are reduced due to lower labor and material waste.
