PRESENTATION

Founded in 2010 by Mafalda Melo, MMARQ is an architectural practice based in Lisbon.

Our path is made by the accumulated experience of critical thinking about each project, its specificities and interaction with its various actors.

We do not follow a single language. Each new project is a new beginning. However, there are constant basic premises of ethics, rigour and knowledge of the regulatory context in our approach to each new challenge.
