Mottram Architecture

Specialties

Mottram Architecture is a full service architecture firm specializing in energy efficient design and construction. We offer planning, programming and consulting services, as well as schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration and interior architecture. We also offer energy consulting services. If you are looking for an Energy Star Certification, HERS Rating, or just a simple energy audit we would love to help you out. We are based in Maine, but Emily is also registered in Pennsylvania and Texas. We started out with cold climate design, but doing energy consulting across the US has expanded our knowledge in several other climates and specialties.

We firmly believe in integrated design and look at everything from water consumption, energy consumption, building envelop, orientation, and function. We have discovered, looking back through our portfolio, that we have a certain fondness for that little old farmhouse, but what we really want to do is create or configure your space so that it envelops and enhances your own personal life. Many homes are beautiful, but all homes should provide form and function that inspires the homeowner and requires less effort to maintain.
