About us

MSH Architecture Associates’ goal has been to provide clients with high-quality design solutions, while keeping the process affordable and enjoyable. In addition to undertaking new house projects, the firm is always working to assist New England families in improving their homes with sensitive renovations and additions, including family rooms, kitchens, master bedroom/bathroom suite expansions, and home offices. During its 27-year history, MSH Architecture Associates has been creating projects that are responsive to their surroundings. MSH Architecture’s projects exhibit a unique formulation of light-filled open and interlocking interior spaces, as well as a clear respect for the nature and structures that surround them. The designs exhibit an efficient use of space, maximizing potential views and integrating with the outdoors. Marc Hershman, founder and principal of MSH Architecture, believes that too often designers either are preoccupied with the exterior appearance of the building, only to neglect the inside space, or, in contrast, create an interior layout that is interesting but is packaged in a structure that completely ignores its setting. MSH Architecture Associates works to address both the need of the Owner to create effective functional spaces, whether the project is a home or a business, and the desire of the Owner and the community to have the project fit into its setting. In addition to concentrating on residential projects, the firm specializes in condominium conversions. MSH Architecture has also been extensively involved in office remodeling and design of restaurants and retail spaces. e-mail: [email protected] website: www.msharchitects.com

We went through several design interations before we settled on a final plan for the addition.  Our project was complicated because we were constrained with several small spaces that could not be expanded.  We wanted our new addition to include many additional amenities beyond what we had.  Existing kitchen space was about 12 x 12.  The existing 2 bathrooms and master closet space in total was also about 12 x 12.  In the kitchen Marc was able to design the space to fit in a large island with storage and seating, a 2nd built in oven, a built in microwave and tons of storage.  In one bathroom we were able to add in a jacuzzi bathtub and more storage.  In the master bathroom we were able to add a large 2 person steam shower with seating.  We wanted as much storage space as possible in our master bedroom closet and Marc was able to double the space.  

It was very important to my husband and me that the new addition be designed to look like it had been a part of the house all along.  Marc's design was able to achieve that.     

Marc did an excellent job.  He drew very detailed plans listing out all the materials to be used.  He also took me shopping one day toseveral companies to pick out the windows we wanted to use.  . 

Marc stopped over several times during the building of the project to check out the builds work.  He caught a couple of errors that neither my husband nor I would have been able to identify.  For example, one of the main support beams in the addition was not the size specified (was too small) and needed to be corrected.  In the upstairs addition room the builder started to remove some of the architectural jogs but Marc caught the error before all the building was done.  

In summary we were very glad that we used an architect who was separate from our builder.  If we didn't do that we would not have ended up all the features that we finally were able to get.
