Martin Architects PC AIA
Established in 1998, Martin Architects provides licensed architectural and engineering services, interior design, and construction administration. The team offers the skills and experience of a large firm, while providing the personal service, motivation, and responsiveness associated with a boutique practice. Working on a broad range of historic to modernist projects, MA
has specialized in high-end residential design. Projects have been undertaken throughout New York State-including the Hamptons and New York City-as well as Connecticut, New Jersey and Costa Rica. The practice has long-standing working relationships with a wide range of skilled consultants on Long Island, and a record of delivering quality design and construction on time and within budget. Martin Architects does not limit designs to any single project type, preferring rather to tailor proposals to the unique requirements of individual clients and their project conditions. Nick Martin
