architectural manoeuvres, p.c. provides one-point source of responsibility for quality design and construction. Our mission is to provide quality award-winning sustainable design and construction in an ethical manner to visionary clients resulting in beautiful animated environments for life, work and play.
In an age of throw-away architecture scattered indifferently on the landscape, buildings that seemingly grow from their sites herald a rare aesthetic pleasure and environmental ethic. These latter buildings characterize the work of architectural manoeuvres. Functional sculpture which takes cues from the planar landscape and refracted light to create memorable residences and commercial buildings.
Founded by J. Matthew McMullen, A.I.A. in 1989, the firm derives its inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright's use of site materials and forms, Robert Henri's American Impressionist paintings of blended natural elements which re-create an American landscape, and Charles Haertling's sculptural buildings. McMullen's interpretation results in design by "organic cooking," blending the elements of site and building to create an artistic and fuctional architecture.
The team at architectural manoeuvres accomplishes this by listening to their clients. They don't believe they have all the answers, but provide the questions to assist their clients in discovering the answers. This information is gathered and combined with their unmatched design talent and the skill of the industry's best consultants, to result in the creation of environments that fit their native surroundings and the people who use the spaces.
