About Us

Founded by Michael Allen, MOA Architecture, Inc. is a full-service architecture, interiors, and planning firm dedicated to creating meaningful spaces that enrich communities and inspire the people who use them. With years of proven experience across a wide spectrum of project types, our team combines technical expertise with a deep commitment to design excellence and client collaboration.

At MOA, we believe architecture is more than buildings—it is about shaping environments that are functional, inclusive, and sustainable. We partner with individuals, organizations, and institutions to bring their visions to life, tailoring each design solution to meet the unique needs, goals, and culture of the client. Our work is grounded in a comprehensive design process that begins with listening and stakeholder engagement, carries through innovative design and technical precision, and extends into construction oversight to ensure the highest quality outcomes.

This approach fosters trust and transparency, allowing us to build lasting relationships with our clients and project partners. Long after construction is complete, our commitment to service and design excellence continues, as we stand alongside our clients as trusted advisors for their evolving needs.

Core Values

At MOA Architecture, we envision a world where every person feels welcomed, empowered, and inspired in the built environments where they live, work, and play. We believe that architecture has the power to foster belonging, promote equity, and elevate the human experience.

To bring this vision to life, our work is grounded in core values that guide every decision we make and every relationship we build:

Inclusion – We design spaces that embrace diversity and reflect the unique voices of the communities we serve.

Empowerment – We create environments that enable people to thrive, unlocking potential through thoughtful and intentional design.

Sustainability – We are committed to responsible design practices that respect the environment, conserve resources, and build for future generations.

Collaboration – We engage openly with our clients, partners, and stakeholders, recognizing that the best solutions emerge from shared ideas and perspectives.

Excellence – We strive for the highest standards of creativity, innovation, and technical precision, ensuring our projects stand as enduring contributions to their communities.

Together, these values shape not only the spaces we design but also the relationships we nurture, ensuring that our work leaves a lasting, positive impact well beyond the walls we build.
