MMAS ARCHITECTS

General information

Client and community focused, we believe architecture is a fundamental and vital element of society. We aspire to make buildings, spaces and places that are contextually sensitive and socially conscious. Our work is derived from its place and its past, yet appropriate to its time and situation. We work with passion and critical rigour to develop rational, innovative and crafted projects that efficiently and cost-effectively enhance the quality of everyday life and strike a resonance with their cultural and historical context.

We bring wide-ranging and award-winning collective experience and a unique set of skills and expertise, gained whilst working for several highly reputable local and European architecture and urbanism practices.

Approach

Each project begins with written aspirations developed through in-depth discussion. Our aim is to build strong professional relationships with each client based on clarity and trust to ensure a feeling of ownership and understanding of the process.

The design develops through contextual analysis and research to gain an understanding of the nuances and characteristics of a particular place. Conceptual ideas emerge through hand sketching, physical and digital modelling and visualization. We have a particular interest in the emotional, nostalgic and experiential aspects of space and materials. Our process involves a rigorous concern for efficiency, with a particular concern for the economical and environmental impact of a building over its life cycle.

Our ultimate ambition is to contribute to a higher standard of built environment and place-making within our urban and rural surroundings.
