MaMo Architects Studio is the adaptive reuse of a former municipal building, reimagined as a physical expression of the studio’s design philosophy. While the building carried civic presence and urban weight, its interior had become closed-off and generic over time. MaMo approached the project as a complete reinvention, removing the existing interior fabric to create a studio that reflects how the firm thinks, collaborates, and builds.
All interior elements were replaced—except the steel super structure with all of its original markings. The resulting space emphasizes openness, material honesty, and craft. Exposed steel, wood, concrete, and brick are left visible and carefully detailed, allowing construction to be read rather than concealed. Long communal worktables support collaboration, while flexible meeting areas and quieter zones balance focus and exchange.
The studio functions as a living archive of MaMo’s collaborators. Many of the artisans and fabricators regularly engaged in the firm’s residential work are represented through custom millwork, metalwork, stone surfaces, and textiles integrated throughout the space. Rather than a showroom, the studio is a working environment shaped by long-standing relationships and shared standards of craftsmanship.
At street level, the project extends into the public realm. Board-formed concrete planters with wooden benches were added along the sidewalk, offering a place to sit and gather while reinforcing the building’s civic roots. These elements blur the boundary between private workspace and public life, returning a sense of generosity to the street.
