The Design Group

Since the inception of The Design Group in 1982, we have broadened the circle of our work not only to the surrounding area of East Tennessee but to other states as well. Licensed to practice in thirteen states enables Matin Concepts, Inc. to meet the needs of our clients to a much greater extent.

Matin Concepts, Inc. -- The Design Group has strived to remain diversified, determined not to limit our talents to any specific market. We believe we must be open to client's suggestions if their needs are to be met and their problems solved. It takes a special skill to be able to transfer the ideas and theories of a client, who does not always understand the principals of architecture, into reality. The philosophy of every good architect is that "anything is possible." Matin Concepts, Inc. continues to pursue this philosophy everyday.

We, being a small company, take special pride in the knowledge we have acquired and the service we have been able to offer to our clients for over 25 years.
