Elevated Home Construction in DC for Modern Living
At MC3 Group, we view homebuilding as a transformative process — one that brings together design vision, technical expertise, and precise execution. As a leader in home construction in DC, our firm unites licensed architectural practice, interior design innovation, and construction management under one roof. This integrated approach ensures that every home we build is not only functional but also elegant, enduring, and uniquely personal.
MC3 Group was founded by husband-and-wife team John McKenna and Maya Chehab with the belief that creating a home should be seamless and inspiring. Unlike many firms, we are both a licensed architecture practice and a design + build company — a combination that gives us control over every stage of the process, from schematic planning to the final walkthrough.
