Desnoyers Mercure & associés (DMA) has been an active architectural and design practice since the late 1950's, first located in St-Hyacinthe, and in 1964, established in Montreal. Throughout our 50+years of existence, the firm has undertaken a variety of architectural projects, predominantly in the institutional sector as well as in the commercial, industrial, recreational, urban design, and residential sectors, covering a wide range of varying scope. Our portfolio comprises several projects that have earned important awards and distinctions.
