mba* [matchbox architects ltd]

Formed in 2009, MBA is a values led business and a vibrant RIBA and RTPI Chartered Architects, Planning Practice and Interior Design Service dedicated to the delivery of well-designed places, buildings and spaces. We have a holistic and sensitive approach to sustainable planning and design, within the residential, commercial, industrial and educational sectors. We have enjoyed steady growth year on year, allowing us to expand and become multi-expertise with in-house specialists and carefully selected strategic partners. Our team creates exciting places and buildings that reflect our clients personalities or brand while respecting and complementing the local environment. We appreciate that a building is a place to relax, a place to grow or work, and fundamentally one of the largest investments many people will make. Every client has their own individual needs and aspirations; using our experience and technical knowledge-base to bring value to the design, planning and construction process, we are able to respond to those individual requirements and bring together the team to create cooperation on a common set of project goals and deliverables. As architects, planners, interior designers, construction managers and cost consultants, we have the ability to change lives through design. We want to use our skills in a socially responsible way, so we have embarked on the journey of creating a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that helps to shelter, rehabilitate, educate, and deploy into the construction industry, homeless people who want to improve their lives. We have pledged to invest at least 30% of our retained group profits year-on-year. Our goal is to help local authorities provide social housing by upskilling the people that need the housing the most.
