MHM is truly honored to be recognized as the 2025 Preservationist of the Year by at this year’s !

The evening brought together more than 400 guests for a celebration filled with music, great company, and community spirit — raising $115,000 in support of local preservation efforts. It was the perfect setting to reflect on the shared commitment that makes Knoxville’s historic character thrive.

This recognition is especially meaningful to our team, as it celebrates a passion deeply woven into our work and culture — preserving and reimagining East Tennessee’s historic landmarks for future generations. From the restoration of the Historic Sanitary Laundry Building into MHM’s new office to several adaptive reuse projects in Knoxville’s Old City, we continue to blend preservation with thoughtful, community-centered design.

We’re grateful to Knox Heritage and to everyone who champions the value of historic architecture and the power of design to connect past and present.
