[10][11] Like many other companies involved with construction, MBH suffered in the late-2000s recession: its revenue fell by half which forced it to lay off 160 of its 220 employees, and in December 2008 City National Bank froze its line of credit and threatened to call in a $3 million loan.
From 2005 to 2008 it was listed as one of the San Francisco Business Times "100 Best Places to Work in the Bay Area",[13] and between 2000 and 2004 it won several awards for its restaurant designs for P. F. Chang's China Bistro.

Giving back has been an integral part of MBH Architects’ culture since the firm opened its doors in 1989, when founding principals John McNulty and Dennis Heath committed to cultivating their relationship with On Lok Lifeways, a nonprofit that develops healthcare models for the elderly.
Supporting a diverse array of causes, including arts education, sustainability, and ending HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's, heart disease and homelessness, has solidified MBH's tradition of enhancing communities with socially minded projects and volunteer work.
