What MOSA Architects does

MOSA Architects, operating under the legal entity MOSA Design Studios LLC, is a privately held, full-service architecture, interior design, and construction management firm founded in 2009 by Monica Fenderson and headquartered in Snellville, Georgia. The firm holds MWBE (Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise), DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise), and WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) certifications that enable access to government and institutional contract vehicles requiring diverse business enterprise participation. MOSA operates a vertically integrated service model combining architectural services, in-house interior design, and construction management under one roof, eliminating the need for subcontracted design partners on most engagements. Its portfolio spans four primary verticals—Commercial, Multifamily Residential, Higher Education, and Mixed Use/Retail—with active or completed projects in 15 U.S. states and select international work in Latin America.

The firm's core technology stack consists of standard CAD/GIS/IT design tools, with no proprietary software, patents, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed. MOSA generates revenue through custom project-based professional services engagements, with project values ranging from $210,000 for restaurant fit-outs (The Halal Guys, Atlanta) to multi-million dollar developments (Vertical Row townhomes, 22,000 sq. ft. in Atlanta) and typical project timelines of 1-12 months depending on scope. Notable institutional clients include Talladega College, Fort Valley State University, Emory University, the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Swarovski, and the Highlander Research and Education Center, indicating capability in both public-sector/institutional procurement and enterprise retail/franchise build-outs.

MOSA distributes services through a direct, consultative B2B sales approach with no intermediaries, relying on a portfolio website with a structured contact form and organic social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram for top-of-funnel awareness. The firm has not raised external capital, holds no parent or subsidiary entities, and operates with a small named leadership team of approximately six professionals. Pricing is custom-quoted based on project scope, square footage, and service requirements with no publicly disclosed tiers. Geographic operations are concentrated in the U.S. Southeast but extend through the Mid-Atlantic and into select Northeast, Midwest, and Texas markets.

Core offering

MOSA Architects is a full-service architecture and design firm delivering architectural services (renovations, design-build, preliminary site analysis, design development, construction administration), in-house interior design, and construction management (permit management, vendor and municipal coordination). The firm applies these capabilities across four project categories: Commercial, Multifamily Residential, Higher Education, and Mixed Use/Retail, with active projects across 14 U.S. states.

Product overview

MOSA Architects is a design firm offering a unified suite of services organized around three core offerings: Architectural Services, Interior Design, and Construction Services. These services are applied across four main project categories—Commercial, Multifamily Residential, Higher Education, and Mixed Use/Retail—that collectively form the company's portfolio. The Architectural Services module encompasses the full project lifecycle from site analysis through construction administration, while Interior Design provides in-house layout and vision execution capabilities. Construction Services manages permitting and vendor coordination. The product offering is a single integrated design-and-build service rather than a modular software platform.

Broad incumbents

• HOK: Global design, architecture, engineering, and planning firm with substantial higher-education and mixed-use practices. Overlaps with MOSA in university facility design and large commercial projects, though at significantly greater scale.
• Gensler: Largest global architecture and design firm, with leading practices in retail, hospitality, and workplace. Directly comparable to MOSA's retail and franchise work (e.g., Swarovski, salon and restaurant design) but with vastly greater scale and global footprint.
• DLR Group: Large integrated architecture, engineering, and planning firm with deep higher-education and civic practices. Competes with MOSA for the same university, multifamily, and public-sector RFPs, but at materially greater scale and geographic depth.
• Perkins&Will: Global architecture firm with leading higher-education, healthcare, and science practices. Competes for the same institutional and university clients MOSA serves, particularly on larger and more complex campus projects.
• NBBJ: Global architecture and design firm with strong higher-education and healthcare portfolios. Overlaps with MOSA on university campus planning and renovation work, but at materially larger scale.
• SmithGroup: Large architecture and engineering firm with strong higher-education, science & technology, and workplace practices. Overlaps with MOSA on university campus work and integrated design-build delivery, but operates nationally at a much larger scale.
• HKS: Major architecture and planning firm known for higher-education, healthcare, and hospitality work. Comparable to MOSA in higher-education vertical and design-build delivery, but with national and global reach.

Direct peers

• Moody Nolan: Largest African-American-owned architecture and engineering firm in the U.S. Direct comparator because Moody Nolan also leverages diversity certifications, operates a multi-market integrated design practice, and competes for the same higher-education, multifamily, and institutional work MOSA pursues.
• Legat Architects: Mid-size architecture firm with a higher-education and K-12 specialty. Comparable to MOSA in scale, vertical mix, and reliance on institutional and public-sector clients in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
• Wight & Company: Mid-sized integrated design and construction firm based in the Midwest. Comparable to MOSA in combining architecture, interior design, and construction services under one roof for institutional and commercial clients.
