We're a RIBA chartered architecture practice based in Westminster, central London, working in and around the city. Our work spans the full spectrum of residential design, from bespoke furniture and interiors to new build homes. Where others come with answers, we ask, listen and learn - challenging assumptions and questioning 'cemented truths'.
Through this process of creative exploring and experimenting, we find the best way - not just the expected way. We're considerate of the wider context and history of your building, balancing old and new to create imaginative architecture that works with the world around. We care about sustainability; reinventing and renewing while striving to minimise reliance on new materials and their associated embodied carbon.

Whether for new builds or for extensions to existing houses, our design process involves constant alternating between viewpoints; working from outside in and back again from inside out, so that these two positions influence one another and ultimately form a coherent whole. Whilst working from 'the inside out' it's natural for us to look at interior material finishes.
Get an informed opinion on your ideas and gain clarity on design direction and budget with a feasibility study. Whether you engage us for a full service or a more limited scope we will always look to start with a feasibility study exploring the full potential of your site, ideas and brief and with regard to your budget.

Dan Marks and the whole MATA team achieved excellence on the major refurbishment of our apartment in Marylebone. As the founder of Flannels, I knew what I wanted, but needed clear guidance through the process. Dan achieved the right balance, always on hand, resolving any issues constructively, ensuring the experience was efficient and enjoyable on a challenging project.
