Studio

MMA is an architectural office located in Madrid that provides architectural design services at all scales and consultancy in the conception and calculation of building structures since 2002.

The studio’s philosophy has always been to offer the best service to our clients, trying to understand their needs and desires, and make them compatible with a top quality design. We try to put the same effort in all the design phases to give an optimal answer, in which beauty is coupled with functionality and the proper resolution of technical issues. We aim to create spaces that are tailored to each user, well integrated into their environment, rational and beautiful. We look for specific solutions for each commission that satisfy specific demands with efficiency and the greatest economy of means; solutions that are environmentally sustainable, reducing operating costs and maintenance tasks. But above all, we want to design memorable buildings, generating a lasting experience. We want to help creating places on Earth where one always wants to be.
