Architect
Buildings shaped from the outside in, exterior architecture & the interiors within

A practice rooted in quiet material conviction.

Portrait of Maria
A.M. Studio, 2024

Maria founded the atelier and works from Beirut, Lebanon. Her practice moves across private homes, hospitality spaces, and adaptive reuse, held together by a quiet conviction: the most generous interiors are the ones that know when to step back.

Every project starts on the ground. A long walk through the site. A slow read of how the light falls. A careful look at what's already there. Material comes next. Then drawing. Form arrives last.

Selected Projects

Work spanning several industries and businesses, private residential and real estate, and hospitality. One continuing conversation about the spaces we choose to live, work, and gather in.
02 Approach
A room should hold the day’s light without insisting on it.
On daylight
We design for the second visit, not the first.
On restraint
Material is memory made physical, chosen slowly, lived in completely.
On material

Made at the scale of a hand.

A small team. Drawings that are revised until the last possible week. We remain involved through every phase, from concept through the placement of the final object.
