About MAP
MAP is a young, forward-thinking architectural practice based in east London that works on a range of projects for living, working and learning, including homes, schools, community facilities and masterplans.
We set up in 2012, founded by two friends working in large architectural practices. Growing frustrated with the limited amount we could achieve in the world, we decided that we wanted to do something – not just plan, talk or theorise, but actually do something that had a real impact on the things that mattered most to us.
We decided that our principles should be to help people get the most out of their land and buildings in a healthy and sustainable way. We have since grown our team, collecting like-minded people along the way and building an effective practice that can tackle a wide range of problems.
We want to improve life through creative and intelligent design, to provide positive and proactive support to the people we work with, and to conserve our environment and our culture for future generations to enjoy. We want to support our clients’ well-being objectives – and to be happy doing what we do.
Although we each have our specialist expertise, we love to work on interesting projects of any kind, with people who inspire us. We focus on the process as much as the product. We work closely with clients, users and other specialists to design buildings and spaces that carefully respond to individual people, places and activities.
