Architecture

Architecture at SMMA is the pursuit of the truest solution to a complex problem.

Whether it’s about square footage, performance, people, or maybe all the above, clients have often spent months or even years soul-searching and debating how to solve their problem before deciding to solve it with architecture.

But it’s here where the journey of discovery often begins. Because the solution is rarely as simple as “more space”.

We think beyond the brief.

We are diligent and disciplined in defining the problem correctly and completely—before exploring solutions.

We are always striving for the most elegant distillation of our clients’ highest aspirations.

At this level, there is no place for siloed thinking, rote repetition of style, or self-aggrandizement. We are generous with our ideas, discovery, and creativity—with each other and with our clients.

“As an architect, it’s such a benefit to collaborate with other disciplines at the earliest stages of design. You realize you can do more with people who have different perspectives. That’s how the best projects happen: When things are organic and discovery driven.”

Michael Pardek, Director of Design

We designed our practice to embrace constraints and resolve complexity with intellect and elegance. Elegance, to us, means the hard-earned absence of excess. A perfect representation of the essential.
