Mad Architecture

MAD is quite possibly the best architecture firm in the entire multi-county north bay. While I was CEO of Traditional Medicinals, MAD (let by Mary) designed a 25,000 square foot stellar office at SOMO for us. The space had been empty for 18 years and was a complete wreck with nothing but a cement floor and four walls. Please go to her website to see photos of her transformation of this space into what many consider the nicest, most communication friendly and employee friendly office in the North Bay. Her vision for the lobby, the conference rooms, kitchen, and work spaces was beyond anything we imagined. Our employees absolutely love working in that space. I spent two years (and more time than Mary cared for) with Mary from start to finish on this project. I welcome a conversation about MAD's capabilities any time. Mary can put you in touch with me.

Working (mostly) with Chris was such a pleasure: he listens carefully and has an artful pragmatism that bends toward beauty. We built a barn, a house for entertaining and remodeled an existing farmhouse- all tied together through material choices that make for a welcoming, cohesive, but not "matchy," whole. The result is lovely, organic and absolutely functional. As an added bonus, Chris and Mary have become friends in the process, a sure sign of a project done well!

We love working with MAD here at SOMO Village. We have created several award-winning projects with them including Traditional Medicinals, the Sky Lounge and our art gallery. We are currently working on the next masterpiece, and we are excited to continue working with MAD on this and other creations. Brad Baker - SOMO Group
