Boston, MA Anthony Frausto-Robledo, AIA, LEED AP has been promoted to associate principal at Morehouse MacDonald and Associates (MMA). Frausto-Robledo has over 30 years of industry experience, including 19 at MMA. In his new role he leads the MMA studio and oversees its many procedures and technologies.

During his career at MMA, Frausto-Robledo has led many of the firm’s notable multi-millon dollar projects, as project manager and designer. Project have included Boston’s Ritz-Carlton lobby, the Marshside Restaurant, and the Met Bar’s Newbury St. and Dedham locations. He is currently the lead designer on developing projects in the Greater Boston and Cape Cod areas, and he has contributed to designs in the West Indies.

“John has built a practice and culture that eschews the ideology of pursuing idiosyncratic architectural goals while keeping a clear-eyed focus on client satisfaction that still raises its hand to the very highest standards possible in design excellence,” said Frausto-Robledo. “It is an absolute pleasure to have been, and continue to be, a part of this firm’s remarkable body of work. And I look forward to helping the firm’s studio continue to advance our ability to ex-ceed our client’s expectations.”

Prior to MMA, Frausto-Robledo’s industry experience spanned the west and east coasts at well-regarded firms including Warner & Gray Architects and Koetter Kim & Associates. A graduate from the Boston Architectural College, where he served on its honors and awards committee, as a guest critic, portfolio reviewer, thesis advisor and instructor, Frausto-Robledo was the recipient of the BAC’s Alumni in Practice Award in 2013. He is a Registered Architect in the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, a LEED Accredited Professional (U.S. Green Building Council), and is a member of the American Institute of Architects. His analysis, “The role of query and convergence in next-generation tool sets,” is included in the title, Codify: Parametric and Computational Design in Landscape Architecture, published last spring by Routledge.

“Anthony is a unique talent,” said John MacDonald, AIA, principal and owner. “His dynamic skill set ranges from a keen eye for design principles and details, to an innate ability to build strong relationships with clients, and an expert-level knowledge-base in computerized practice within the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. We are fortunate to have him at MMA and are proud to promote him to this senior position within our firm.”
