ABOUT MFA&D

Transforming the everyday into a unique timeless experience​

​

Martha Franco Architecture & Design (MFA&D) is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm based in Montreal. We approach design as the art of storytelling - where every space reflects the people who live in it.  Each project is tailored to our clients’ needs, budget, and vision, creating environments that feel their own. Every detail contributes to a narrative resulting in spaces that uniquely personalized and that evoke emotion and sense of belonging.  We specialize in crafting luxurious environments including residential estates, hospitality venues and commercial environments, ensuring each project bears our signature blend of elegance and functionality.
 

We offer a fully integrated approach reuniting architecture, interior design, and landscape into one-stop service.  Reuniting these services together results into a more efficient design process for a better client experience, simplifying the journey of design and build and providing a more coherence result that enhances the quality and budget control of the project.  Whether for a new building or redesigning an existing space, we guide clients through every step with expertise and creativity to ensure each project is fully coordinated - from concept to completion - so clients feel supported and inspired throughout the journey. 

We specialize in crafting refined environments that include residential, hospitality, and commercial, each distinguished by our distinctive mix of timeless elegance and practical aspects of each project.  Each project is tailored to how our clients live, work, and experience space — at every scale and every budget.
 

Martha Franco, founder of the firm, is a licensed architect and interior designer renowned for a diverse portfolio of high-end projects recognized for their timeless elegance, craftmanship and attention to detail which have earned her and her team at Martha Franco Architecture & Design (MFA&D), based in Montreal, numerous awards.  Drawing inspiration from her Latin American heritage, working experience in New York and extensive work with Montreal’s most iconic historic neighborhoods, Martha brings a global perspective and profound respect for history to every commission.  An advocate of the classical principles of architecture, such as symmetry, proportion, and harmony, she works relentlessly to bring coherence and uniqueness to each of their projects.

 

At MFA&D, we aim to transcend passing trends, making each project an opportunity to build to last and an enduring value. We’re committed to shaping enduring environments that reflect the unique stories and lifestyles of our clients. With a balance of refined simplicity and historic sensitivity, we redefine elegance through a harmonious fusion of past and present.

HOW WE WORK

At Martha Franco Architecture & Design (MFA&D), every project begins with a deep understanding of our clients—their lifestyle, aspirations, and the story their space should tell.

 

We believe architecture is an act of coherence: a composition where structure, interiors, and landscape align seamlessly.

We believe architecture is not an exercise on any style, but in coherence: a thoughtful composition where interiors, architecture, furnishings, and landscape reunite as one. By respecting context, character, and detail, we design environments that transcend trends, resulting in timeless spaces that are both sophisticated and deeply personal. The result: effortless design that lasts, timeless architecture, and interiors that evolve gracefully across generations.

 

From early sketches to construction, furnishing, and final handover, our team lead an integrated process. We coordinate with trusted builders, artisans, and consultants to ensure precision, transparency, and design integrity.  Our team guides each step of the journey—concept, planning, permits, construction, interiors, and handover—ensuring a seamless, integrated process.
