OUR ORIGINS

Mario DiMarco is the founding principal of Mario DiMarco Architects PLLC.  His responsibilities include business development, all business operations, and as a lead designer and primary resource for aesthetic design, building code compliance and over all quality control. At this time he serves as a project architect and project manager on all projects.

His 30 years of professional experience has been in all facets of the work including project architect, project manager, and studio production manager. Mr. DiMarco has a vast experience in a wide range of project and construction types and specializes in custom single family and multi-family residential, health care, adaptive reuse and various other commercial specialties. His greatest project contributions come from his sensitive and responsive designs.

Mario DiMarco Architects was founded to offer clients high quality design services that are aesthetically beautiful, highly functional and most importantly – budget responsive. We believe each project should be unique – A mirror of the values of each client and the context of each site.

We achieve our goals through a collaborative, consensus-based process engaging our clients, our consultants, and our communities. We help clients make value-based decisions and achieve clear, quantifiable results. We apply our extensive knowledge and collaborative process to achieve innovative solutions that are beautiful, functional, and inspiring. We are continually seeking to understand the client’s experience so that we can integrate what we learn into each design solution.

OUR VALUES

Our design solutions result from a collaborative process that encourages research alternatives, share knowledge and imagine new ways to solve the challenges of our built environment.

Our architecture responds to the needs and aspirations of our clients. We give form and meaning to rooms, buildings, and landscapes — always balancing internal functions with external demands of site, climate and culture.

Though research and analysis are essential, sparks of innovation ignite new discoveries.

ARCHITECTURE

Our goal is to create a built environment that supports the clients expectations, makes a distinguished statement and contribution to the community, and remains environmentally responsible. We give form and meaning to rooms, buildings, and landscapes — always balancing internal functions with external demands of site, climate and culture.

INTERIOR DESIGN

We believe interior design is much more than just materials, finishes, color, lighting, and space planning. We understand how a successful design can help enhance communication, increase productivity, generate more business, and ultimately reflect our clients’ ideals.

PLANNING

We realize a client usually has specific tangible products she would like implemented over a period of time. We also help you discover unrecognized goals & objectives that are uncovered during the discovery period of a master plan. From the analysis of issues and the creation of a master plan we give our clients the tools to implement their visions for the future.
