Founded by Marco Gutierrez, MGHD is a San Diego-based design studio rooted in a lifelong passion for architecture and hands-on construction experience. Drawing from many years in the field and various architectural degrees, including a minor in Construction Management, he delivers a fully integrated design experience that combines creative vision with practical, buildable outcomes.

With a portfolio that reflects a broad range of projects completed at previous firms before founding MGHD. These projects span from residential and multifamily sectors:

• Senior living and Assisted-care communities - designed for accessibility, wellness, and long-term comfort

• Low-income and workforce housing developments - optimize value, density, and community benefit

• Custom single-family homes and remodels - within HOA-governed, master-planned, coastal, and hillside communities

• Multifamily and mixed-use projects - integrate residential units with retail, office, and amenity spaces to create vibrant, walkable destinations

This varied experience equips us to approach every commission with proven strategies and an adaptable perspective that distinguishes MGHD in the industry.

At MGHD, we guide each client personally from initial feasibility through conceptual design, documentation, construction coordination, and final closeout, keeping design intent, quality, and budget aligned throughout.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, we provide clear, direct communication and strong client relationships from day one.

Above all, MGHD is dedicated to transforming ambitious visions into enduring spaces that elevate how people live, work, and connect, whether it’s a custom residence, commercial build-out, multifamily development, or institutional project.

Let’s bring your project to life—together.
