ABOUT

Rob Mawson and Matt Parker met in 2010 during their Masters in Architecture at the University of Sheffield. It was their strong sense of motivation and passion for making that led them to Nicaragua to build their first project, the Balgue Community Centre.  Since then, they have continued to collaborate on a number of voluntary projects and private commissions, while independently gaining experience working for highly regarded architectural practices in London.

Rob and Matt formed MAP Architecture in 2012 and have completed a series of small residential projects in their spare time. In summer 2017 they left their respective practices to work full time for MAP.

MAP Architecture is registered with Companies House as MAP Architects Ltd (Company Number: 10293590)
