Our Approach
m²ft architects operates in the fields of urban design, architectural solutions, and the creation of public spaces. We are committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions that enhance the quality of urban environments. Our practice is always striving to find new ways to improve the way cities work, create spaces that are welcoming and beautiful, and provide new opportunities for people to connect and engage with their communities. Whether it is designing new architectures, rethinking public spaces, improving buildings, or develop urban planning strategies, we are dedicated to creating vibrant, liveable and sustainable environments for the future.
Our approach to design is a balanced blend of holistic and systemic thinking, coupled with human-scale design sensitivity. We believe that by designing with a complete understanding of the interconnected relationships between systems and users, we can create effective and meaningful architectures that are both functional and user-friendly. Our goal is to create designs that not only satisfy the needs of our clients, but also positively affect the people who will use them and the environment in which they fit. By understanding the unique needs and preferences of individuals and communities, we create functional, accessible, and comfortable spaces.
Our Inputs
Sustainability
m²ft architects aim to ignite a vision of sustainable architecture that embraces forward-thinking approaches to design, construction, and research. By prioritizing environmentally responsible and socially conscious practices, we design buildings that minimize their impact on the planet while maximizing their benefit to communities. Through collaborative efforts, innovative technology, and a commitment to holistic design principles, we can shape a future where architecture is not just a structure but also a tool for meaningful sustainability.
More Than Human
The built environment can be viewed as an ecosystem, with various components living and interacting with each other. Buildings, roads, and other infrastructure create habitats for humans and non-humans. By recognizing and managing the interconnectedness of the various components in the built environment, we design for more sustainable and resilient communities. Therefore, creating a balanced environment that promotes a healthy and sustainable coexistence between humans and nature is crucial in our work.
Creating Places
Before designing any architecture, the first step is to create places. This involves careful consideration of the surroundings, the community, and the intended purpose of the space. A well-designed place invites interaction, fosters connectivity, and promotes a sense of community. It involves not just aesthetically pleasing design but also functionality and practicality. By taking the time to create a well-designed place, we can ensure that the buildings we construct will better serve their intended purpose and contribute positively to the community that surrounds them.
Design by Care
We are committed to the idea that our future is one that we will share. We understand that our actions today will directly affect the well-being of our global community tomorrow. Therefore, we strive to work collaboratively towards creating a sustainable and equitable future for all. Our values are cantered on inclusivity, care and social responsibility, and we believe that by working together, we can achieve great things for individuals and communities around the world. We are dedicated to contributing positively in every way we can, and believe that our collective actions can make a difference.
Human Scale
We place a strong emphasis on designing architectures and urban environments with a focus on the human experience. Our approach begins by considering the needs, abilities, and preferences of individuals and communities to create spaces that are functional, accessible, and comfortable. This perspective allows us to develop designs that enhance quality of life and promote social, economic, and environmental sustainability. By working on the human scale, we aim to create spaces that are both beautiful and practical, inspiring and liveable for generations to come.
