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 APPROACH
We approach design as a structured decision-making process, not simply as a question of form. By considering the site, regulatory framework and market expectations from the outset, we establish a clear direction for the project.
This early clarity reduces costly design changes, improves control over programme and budget, and minimises overall development risk.
SITE-SPECIFIC VALUE CREATION
We treat the site not as a fixed condition, but as an opportunity. By working strategically within the planning and regulatory framework, we maximise development potential while creating liveable and commercially viable environments.
The building is not simply placed on the site, but creates added value within its physical, urban and environmental context.
PLANNING AND REGULATORY EXPERTISE
Through an in-depth understanding of local regulations and forward-looking design, we make the planning and approvals process clearer and more predictable.
We use the regulatory framework not as a constraint, but as a design tool, reducing the risk of unforeseen redesign and delays.
TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE = LONG- TERM INVESTMENT VALUE
We design beyond short-lived trends, creating timeless buildings that retain their relevance and value over time.
Atmosphere and spatial quality are deliberate design tools, directly influencing marketability, leasing potential and long-term asset 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.
