Philosophy

At MGP we believe that good design is achieved through a thorough integrated design process. This process allows for cohesion and transparency across all stages of a project and thus creates more responsive buildings; both to client needs and the surrounding landscape. 

Our design methodology is focused around four main principles that dictate that the spaces we create must be; 

  1. Welcoming and Accessible

  2. Flexible and Adaptable

  3. Environmentally and Fiscally responsible

  4. Distinctive and Local

Awards

Our team has earned numerous awards, for architecture, engineering and interior design:

The MGP Legacy

Incorporated in 2002, by Gord Mezzomo, Wayne Mezzomo, Denis Gregoire, Henry Pietrzakowski and Elio Principe, MGP Architects + Engineer Inc. has thrived as one of the most experienced, multifaceted design firms in Northern Ontario. 

Originating in 1948 as GSB (Gugula, Smedley, Barban Associates.), MGP has grown to become one of the longest standing architecture and engineering firms in Sault Ste. Marie. Our design methodology has always been dynamic and adaptive allowing us to remain innovative and bridge vernacular ideologies with modern technologies. Over generations we have grown and expanded our services to include interior design, 3D rendering and energy modelling and optimization. Consequently, MGP has been involved in a diverse array of projects in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Michigan.

As we continue to grow and evolve as firm, we take time to reflect on our beginnings. For a complete Chronological Evolution of the firm, hand written by Joe Gugula click below.
