m2r - architecture

Philosophy

m2r is an established international design studio with offices in London, Berlin and Kiev. Our hallmark is the creation of innovative architecture founded on integrity and substance, thereby enabling our clients to satisfy their design aspirations, whilst at the same time achieving maximum value for their investment. Our goals are:

- Creative ideas
- Sustainable concepts
- Creation of value
- Process driven management

Our strength lies in a rigorous approach to project analysis, design development and realisation of built form. As a consequence, the goals of our clients can be married successfully to the contemporary design philosophy, which underpins our work.

At the beginning of the 21st century we believe that as architects we have an obligation to develop forward looking technological and ecological systems, which create buildings appropriate to both today, and tomorrow. The lifespan of a building imposes a high responsibility on its designers, requiring integrated teamwork between architects, engineers and specialists of all disciplines.

As architects we have a coordinating responsibility to ensure that this integration of knowledge is managed and directed to the best advantage of our clients and their projects. m2r offers a full architectural service with special expertise in:

- Sport and leisure facilities
- Public art and exhibition venues
- Tailor-made residential buildings
- Commercial buildings
- Retail design and roll out programs
- Urban development/ regeneration
- Master planning
