MÁS architects was founded in Budapest in 2018 by Orsolya Mészáros and Bálint Gulyás. They completed their studies at the Budapest and Barcelona Universities of Technology and began their careers at the Pritzker Prize-winning RCR Arquitectes office. The studio works in both the private and public sectors, and its portfolio includes residential, educational, and community projects. Their work is characterized by conceptual discipline and a site-specific approach.

STRATEGIC
DESIGN

We treat design as a decision-making process, not as a question of form. We work at the intersection of place, regulation, and market expectations, so the project is placed on a structured path at an early stage.

This reduces changes of direction, increases cost and schedule control, and mitigates investor risk.

SITE-SPECIFIC
VALUE CREATION

We treat the site not as a given condition, but as an opportunity. By consciously making use of the regulatory framework, we maximize the development potential while creating a livable and marketable structure.

The building is not merely placed onto the site, but creates added value within its physical, urban, and environmental context.

PERMITTING AND
REGULATORY COMPETENCE

With a deep knowledge of local regulations and forward-looking design, the permitting process becomes faster and more predictable.

We use the regulatory framework not as an obstacle, but as a design tool, reducing the chance of unexpected modifications and delays.

TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE = LONG-
TERM INVESTMENT VALUE

We do not think in trend-sensitive, quickly aging solutions, but in timeless buildings that remain meaningful in the long term.

Atmosphere and spatial quality are conscious tools for us, directly influencing saleability, leasability, and secondary market value.

Manifesto

Moving layer by layer, we search for the point where the true nature of the task becomes visible. Our architecture takes form in concept and becomes reality in the details.

For us, architecture is a responsible, timeless relationship between people and place: our way of thinking is MÁS.
