Studio

Based within the historic walls of the converted Sir Gilbert Scott National & Provincial Banking Hall, the studio was founded in 1997 by the spirited trio of Matthew Ratsma, Min Hitchcox, and Mark Davidson.

Under the sole direction of Matthew Ratsma since 2005, MMM Architects stands as an award-winning architectural practice renowned for crafting unique inspirational spaces.

While our roots are firmly embedded in London, our work carries a growing global footprint spanning New York, Miami, Austria, Paris, Dehli, and Kazakhstan.
