Studio Ma is an internationally recognized architecture firm that designs inspiring environments for all—built for joy within and function throughout. Understood in Japan as “the space between,” Ma is a concept that explores the dynamic relationship between object and environment. Attending to this relationship allows us to balance the given aspect (function) and the felt aspect (joy) of any space. For us, Ma is both a perspective and approach. It guides our projects and partnerships towards the highest possible value for all. Together with our clients, it helps us create net-positivity in every design— optimizing aesthetics and functionality in harmony with the natural environment and human wellbeing. In short: joy within, function throughout.
