Why Martha Franco

Why discerning clients choose our architecture studio

Architecture is the framework for everything that follows. We design homes whose proportions, light, and materials feel inevitable — and we protect that intent through permits, construction, and the final walk-through.

The architect who sketches your first concept supervises the site until handover, so nothing is lost in translation.

Ground-up residences with a singular vision

From the first site study to the final elevation, we shape new homes around how you live — orchestrating volume, natural light, and circulation into architecture that feels calm and resolved. Every drawing set is detailed for the craftsmen who will build it.

Restorations & Additions

Heritage character, contemporary life

We restore facades, reframe interiors, and extend heritage homes so the new work reads as a natural continuation of the old. Municipal and heritage approvals are managed in-house, keeping the project moving without compromising the design.

Testimonials

From the first sketch to the final installation, the process was smooth and professional. The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding, and the atmosphere they created is both modern and very warm.

Lucas Bergman

The team transformed our apartment beyond expectations. Every detail feels considered, and the custom furniture fits the space perfectly. It finally feels like a home designed just for us.

Emma Larsson

We needed smart storage without losing light and openness — and they delivered exactly that. The space feels balanced, functional, and beautifully finished. Highly recommended.

Sofia Nilsson

A rare combination of vision and rigour. The renovation of our heritage home respected its character while giving us a thoroughly modern way of living.

Daniel Roy

Every meeting felt collaborative, and the result speaks for itself — a serene, light-filled home our family loves. The custom millwork alone is worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anything else on your mind? We’d be glad to answer it in a private consultation.

We offer a complete, integrated service: architecture, interior design, landscape design, and custom furniture. Every project is led by a single team from the first consultation to the final styling, so the result reads as one coherent design.

Our studio is based in Montreal, with active projects in Toronto, Florida, and New York. For exceptional residences and resorts, we work internationally on a select number of commissions each year.

Everything starts with a private consultation and feasibility review. We listen, assess the property, and outline a clear vision, budget frame, and timeline before any design work begins — discreetly and without obligation.

Timelines vary with scope. A full interior transformation typically runs 8 to 14 months; ground-up architecture and heritage restorations can extend beyond that. We share a detailed schedule at the concept stage and keep it updated throughout.

Yes. We prepare technical documentation, secure municipal and heritage approvals, and supervise construction through to installation. You have one point of contact for the entire project.

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with outside architects, builders, and specialty artisans, coordinating the team so the design intent is protected at every stage.
