MAGIC architecture

MAGIC is my last name. It’s not a gimmick or way to sparkle. I started this firm with the commitment to make beautiful spaces. Big, small, inside and out. There’s a shortage of great rooms, places we love to be in, play in and live in. My aim is to discover meaning in the things we shape, through playful uses of materials, brand enhancement and highly skilled detailing. Clients usually find me for one-off solutions, challenging situations or wanting something different. My process is different. Smaller is greater. I try not to waste time. I don’t outsource. I won’t copy, not even details from a previous project. I don’t pass projects on to inexperienced staff or unpaid interns, as this is my work not a design factory. I play down the seriousness of design by making it approachable. And hopefully the work becomes beautiful, fun and well loved by all that touch it.
