Practice Ideology
Mayin Studio is driven by the team’s love for art and design. An architectural design practice where they create spaces that embody all that they believe in as designers, always influenced by art which they combine with a practical approach. For them, architecture and spaces are a way to express themselves and they love that they get to inhabit their own gestures of creativity.
The studio is rooted in ethnic approaches, climatic responses, and spaces that add value to the lives of people. Their style is fun, collaborative, influenced by artistic experiments, and evolves according to context making way for new customized spaces with each project !
