Philosophy
The office of MJL Architect strives to deliver the highest level of design, service and project management. Our architectural designs are driven by the exploration of new attitudes, without preconception as a premise. The approach is client and site specific and challenges conventional assumptions that currently, and predominantly, influence the architectural profession. A collaborative process between clients, consultants, fabricators and builders allows an open and dedicated exploration of appropriate concepts. In each project we seek to reevaluate and re-identify the environment in which we live in order to create new, and relevant, design solutions for our clients.
