MDP
MDP has provided design services for senior communities since 1973. In that time, the firm has celebrated noteworthy milestones, been awarded newsworthy projects, nurtured long-standing client and partner relationships and received local, national and international recognition.
Philosophy
At MDP, our roots in senior living design have created a deep sensitivity to the diverse needs of all people. Whether a senior living, multifamily or hospitality project, we believe in designing thoughtful environments that support the universal needs of our population. The places where we live, work and play should not be a constant reminder of one’s limitations – but a suggestion of what is possible. We strive to create engaging environments that encourage inspired living. MDP is committed to Inspired Design.
Inspired Design
MDP’s Inspired Design emerges from our collaborative process and is fueled by the unique circumstances of each project. As we strive to respond to the lifestyles, attitudes, expectations and habits of the diverse senior population, we are listening and learning from the residents and project stakeholders. These multiple perspectives reveal the heart of the community, and our designs bring that essence to life. More than beautiful and functional spaces, we create purposeful environments that evoke emotion—engaging environments that encourage an inspired life.
Project Approach
We are a hands-on firm. We select our project teams to match your project’s particular needs, and our inspired design process is led by our experienced design professionals. You can feel confident knowing our firm leaders are providing direction at every phase of the project, carefully monitoring the process from initial concept to construction. As partners in your project’s success, we communicate and collaborate with you every step of the way. We ask thoughtful questions, take the time to listen, pay attention to the details and offer the flexibility you need to achieve your goals.
Sustainability
MDP, and our LEED® accredited professionals, are committed to preserving our senior communities and our environment through sustainable practices. We are committed to embracing sustainability during both the project design and project management phases of our work.

Interior Architecture
It is often difficult to distinguish where architecture ends, and interior design begins. At MDP, we believe that interior design is an integral part of the architecture. Our interior design team works closely with clients, developers and architects to create a seamless transition between the two disciplines, working collaboratively to ensure the architecture informs the interior design, and vice versa. This approach results in a holistic experience–an inspired atmosphere for residents, family and staff.
