For more than twenty years, Mogavero Architects has designed buildings, planned sites and created master plans with the goal of building livable communities that inspire sustainability and create places with meaning.  Our award winning architecture, planning and urban design services have been provided to clients throughout California in small towns as well as in intensely urban settings.  We offer clients multi-disciplinary capabilities with an extensive background in architecture, planning, landscape architecture, urban design and development services. 
Our firm is committed to the community design process and to building consensus among user groups and stakeholders.  As skilled facilitators and outreach consultants, we can assist clients in project communications and approvals, gain support for controversial projects, and let community thought inform our designs.  We work closely with clients and end users to achieve project goals from both perspectives.
Mogavero Notestine Associates’ dedication to green, sustainable design has been demonstrated on projects for over 30 years.  Prior to forming Mogavero Architects, our firm’s founders pioneered cutting edge, green building practices on homes and commercial projects, studying the effects of site and nature on buildings and how they could be used to a project’s advantage with a keen eye towards conservation.  Further applying this principle to planning and development work has been key to the firm’s success in addition to ongoing, enduring contributions to client satisfaction and project success.  This ethos is demonstrated on each project we undertake, and our staff are continuously refining their approach to building, land development and urban design.
We have developed residential communities, urban, mixed-use projects, and participated in public/private development partnerships throughout California and the west. We thrive on complex development deals that involve many product types, financing sources, and stakeholders. Our firm offers unique knowledge of the politics of infill development in many jurisdictions.
Mogavero Architects’ LEED accredited professionals assess project characteristics that can affect outcomes on many levels:  the context of the building on its site and with its neighbors, its contribution to the built environment, what purpose it serves now or what it can possibly serve in the future, and how it is constructed.  Materials, methods, and technologies are constantly evaluated and reconsidered with an eye towards enduring value, efficiency and acclaimed design.
