MARAIS IN A NUTSHELL

Marais was founded in 2022 by Jennifer Snape, PE. We believe in providing thoughtful solutions to design challenges for private, federal, and municipal clients in the Gulf Coast Region. We specialize in historic preservation & adaptive reuse, structural design, civil design, and public outreach.

We were founded on the principle that communication and close coordination within the design team leads to more successful and enjoyable projects. Throughout the life of a project, we understand the importance of responsiveness and clarity in communication. During the design process, our team looks for opportunities to improve the sustainability of every one of our projects, from economical design decisions to considerations for our changing climate.

Marais believes in the importance of work-life balance and we are currently operating on a 4-½ day work week schedule.
