What we do

Take a look

We at Tungsten Architects understand that designing a space is not just about drafting a neat blueprint and handing it off to be built, we believe in creating spaces that are not only occupiable, but also inspiring and encompasses our client's story. We care about how the light filters into your dining room, marking the rhythm of daily life and shared meals or how an ADU supports multigenerational living, giving families space to be together while honoring independence and a sense of belonging. We specialize in designing compact spaces and ADUs across New Jersey, including Montclair, Maplewood, and South Orange. With a portfolio of successful ADU projects, we guide homeowners through every step of the process. We aim to enhance the quality of life for the people who occupy these spaces, believing that the design process is as much about selecting the right materials as it is about the experience you have the first time you step into your newly completed space.

Whether you are envisioning your dream home, planning a renovation, or exploring an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), we can help make it a reality. Clear communication is the foundation of our work, ensuring that our clients’ vision, aspirations, and goals for their space are fully understood and thoughtfully realized.

BIG public thank you! to Marcus for turning our pipe dream of a plan into reality. Not only did he design to our vision, but his ADU knowledge in Montclair was vital in getting our permits in place. He also oversaw the build process which alleviated a lot of stress on my and my wife’s part.

We worked with Marcus on plans to convert our garage into an ADU. Marcus is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. It’s only the second ADU in Montclai so very limited guidance / road map. We received both zoning and construction permits on the first try; no revisions were required. Also easy to communicate / work with. Highly recommend!

Looking to convert a shop space into an ADU in Montclair, we were lucky to find Marcus. His knowledge of the ins and outs of ADU design and the process to get permits, etc has been invaluable.
