Firm Description

Maryann Thompson Architects (MTA) is a Watertown, Massachusetts based architecture firm that offers a wide range of services to public and private clients. We were founded by Maryann Thompson in 2000. Previous to that, Maryann was a partner at Thompson & Rose. We specialize in architecture that is sustainable, regionally driven and that attempts to heighten the phenomenological qualities of the site in which we work. Our architectural investigations revolve around such concerns as the creation of a rich and thoughtful edge between inside and outside, utilizing light as a material, and employing warm, natural materials in order to accentuate a sense of place.

Our experienced staff comes from diverse backgrounds, including architecture, landscape architecture, sustainability, planning, and interior design. We provide the following services:

  • Full Architectural Services
  • Schematic Design
  • Design Development
  • Construction Documents
  • Construction Administration
  • Sustainability; LEED & Green Globes Cert.
  • Interior Design; including FF&E
  • Landscape Design

Maryann carries degrees in both architecture and landscape architecture, bringing to the practice an interdisciplinary approach where issues of the landscape are central to our design thinking. We believe in integrating planning, programming and design in a holistic, consensus-building approach to projects. Our projects range in scale from large institutional buildings to small-scale residential work.

Our work has garnered some 50 design awards, including three AIA National Honor Awards and numerous AIA New England Design Honor Awards and BSA Honor Awards for Design Excellence. The work has been published in Landscape Architecture Magazine, Insite, Art in New England, Progressive Architecture, Architecture, Architectural Digest, Architectural Record, A+U and in various architectural books, including Norton's A Guide to 250 Key Twentieth-Century American Buildings, 40 Under 40, and Contemporary American Architects.

Principals
MARYANN THOMPSON, FAIA
Founder and Principal

Maryann Thompson, was educated at Princeton University and the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, where she received a Masters in Architecture and in Landscape Architecture. She brings to her practice an interdisciplinary approach where issues of site, landscaping, and sustainability are central to her design thinking. One of her awards from the AIA states that Maryann “has made a significant contribution to architecture. Her work reconnects architecture with the landscape and celebrates tectonics, materials and a poetic approach to design.

Maryann taught design studios as a Professor in Practice of Architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design from 2002-2017. She has also taught design as a visiting faculty member at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rhode Island School of Design, University of Virginia, University of Michigan, and Rice University.

She founded Maryann Thompson Architects in 2000. Prior to that Maryann was a founding partner of Thompson and Rose Architects.

MARTHA FOSS
Principal

Martha Foss, AIA, earned an undergraduate degree in Architecture from the University of Virginia and a Master in Architecture from the Yale University School of Architecture. She has been with Maryann Thompson Architects for over eleven years.

Martha’s design interests are driven by architecture’s relationship to direct human experience, and the belief that architecture has the potential to serve as a mediator between us and our surroundings—locating us within the world and meaningfully constructing our relationship to it. Architecture is thought of as a system of dynamic interactions and interrelations, through which it has the potential to construct meaning and operate within the realm of the poetic.

Martha has been an invited reviewer at numerous schools across the country. She has taught design studios at Syracuse University School of Architecture—including its Florence, Italy program—Wentworth Institute of Technology and Northeastern University School of Architecture.
