For 40 years, Magnusson Architecture and Planning (MAP) has been centered on sustainable affordable housing and community development. Prioritizing inclusivity, quality, and health, the firm has designed over 100 buildings with more than 14,000 homes. MAP’s award-winning work is driven by the idea that everyone deserves beautiful, safe, supportive places to live.
MAP works with nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and for-profit developers to improve the lives of those who live and work in their communities.
Our expertise extends to community-based planning and urban design, resident-in-place renovations, and sustainable development, frequently designing to Passive House levels.
As the powerful interconnections between housing and health dovetail with environmental justice issues, we incorporate best practices, guidelines and research around healthy materials choices, indoor air quality and access to nature. We also employ Active Design, Biophilic Design and Trauma Informed Design principles.
