MMO Designs

MMO Designs is a drawing board rather than a job site. Mary Michael O'Hare runs the practice from 24 Manton Road in Swampscott and, by her own account, has over twenty years in architecture and interior design; Houzz lists her under Architects & Building Designers, and every service on the profile is design work — architectural drawings, floor plans, kitchen and bathroom design, mudroom and deck layouts, and additions. The published portfolio runs to 16 projects, a Marblehead property and a multi-room Newton Centre renovation among them, and the profile carries seven Houzz awards and two badges. The stated service area is a tight North Shore band of twelve towns: Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Beverly, Manchester, Prides Crossing, Wenham, South Hamilton, Reading, North Reading, Boston and Nahant. Houzz publishes no customer reviews for the practice, so there is no rating here — the awards and the portfolio are the only outside signal. The right call if you want plans and a design worked up for an addition or a kitchen before you go looking for a builder. Ask who she usually works with on the construction side, and ask to speak with two recent clients.
