Imagine a world where beauty is soulful and sustainable

Sustainability is a global conversation that grows ever more urgent. Beauty is a design fundamental that is ever more mistreated. At MCA, we believe that forging a bond between sustainability and beauty reveals a fresh relevance and vast potential. For us, sustainability is the pursuit of new beauty.

We dream of and design for a deep beauty, one that integrates environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and cultural contribution.

There is so much more to sustainability than functions and features.
We embrace a process of exploration and experimentation, interpretation, and creation.

We are continuously learning, shoulder to shoulder with our School of Sustainability Foundation.

Our research into traditional ways and innovative methods is teaching us how to sustain life in all its manifestations.

The best architecture springs from a connection with all that a location has been and could be.

We search for the soul of a site.

We believe each building is a complex system, unique to its context and connected to its culture. Buildings must embody empathy as well as efficiency.

We are a design studio with diverse talents in research and development, architecture and engineering, planning and making.

Collectively, we are driven by our vision. As designers, we approach every collaboration with honesty.

As people, we are open about the obstacles we encounter as well as the breakthroughs we achieve.
