Our practice focuses on the transformation of existing conditions, raw and local material, from the territory to architecture that offers specific and poetic answers.
studiomäc is an architecture practice based in Paris and Frankfurt, founded in 2025. Sharing a common interest in the relationship between architecture and territory, Julia and Augustin created studiomäc as a collaborative platform.
We work with a wide range of scales and typologies —from new constructions with local resources to the careful transformation of existing structures. Working across both urban and rural contexts, our projects are shaped by a strong focus on the context and local potentialities
We stand for the transformation of existing conditions and a sustainable approach to construction materials.
We seek simplicity, space & poetry.
