:: M:OME & M:OMElife









M:OME is Laura Joines-Novotny, AIA and Tom Di Santo, Architect, as well as a host of other co-conspirators in the push for the paradigm shift.

Our mission is simple: create modern design that adds beauty to life, belongs to its climate and region, sustains itself and its owners while supporting community and environment alike.

M:OME was born out of the need to create.

M:OME was born out of the acceptance that good design must happen at every level from minutia to macro-spection.

M:OME was born out of the notion that all good design must strive for greater eco-literacy.

We believe that sustainability is a baseline, a minimum requirement, a sieve through which all works must pass to be considered architecture. We believe that a fourth ideal, advantageous to the environment, be added to the Vitruvian triad of firmness, commodity and delight, such that Sustainability be considered in the larger context of a project's conceptual integration.
