MAS is an award winning architecture and design practice based in Istanbul, established in 2018 by Kerim Miskavi. Through an iterative, concept driven approach, the studio engages in projects of various scales and media ranging from custom-made furniture design to large-scale urban transformations.
MAS continues to develop its local and international architecture projects through all design stages from concept to construction administration and has completed several interior design projects with residential, office and retail programs in the past
six years.
Current Projects
The design proposal for Izmir University of Economics Guzelbahce Campus has been awarded First Prize by the Izmir Chamber of Commerce as a result of a national design competition that collected 54 entries. Project is in progress for the first 130.000 m² of academic, administrative, social and sports programs. With the Groundbreaking Ceremony in June 2024, construction kicked off for the first of the three phases, including the Sports Complex, College of Engineering, College of Science & Letters and the Engineering Laboratory Annex Building.
Construction has been completed for a 240-unit mid-rise residential development in Mersin, Turkey undertaken from master-plan concept through construction administration while a 60-unit residential tower in Istanbul’s business district, Levent broke ground in 2024. A workshop and office building complex in Basra, Iraq, a residential expansion in Berkeley, California and a villa in Baghdad, Iraq are in permit and tender phases.
Highlights
In addition to its project practice, MAS values the discipline’s theoretical framework and aims to engage in the international dialogue via various platforms. The studio’s architectural installation titled “Barjeel”, inspired by the traditional wind towers of the Gulf, showed at Dubai Design Week 2019 and was a finalist for ArchDaily's Building of the Year.
MAS’ entry to the National Competition for Erenköy Mental Health Campus received the Purchasing Award in 2020 and “A Place to Stand Still” won the Jury Prize at the 25th Golden Plumb Awards organized by the International Building Catalog in 2022. MAS has been featured in Turkey's Architecture Yearbook by Arkitera for three consecutive years with NAYA, PH7800 and Ilıca Residence projects. PH7800 has been further recognized internationally as a finalist for the World Architecture Festival 2022 and nationally by the DAC Space Best of Interior Design Selection.MAS is dedicated to achieving solutions that make a difference through its experience in operating across geographical boundaries, open communication with clients and teamwork as well as a rigorous design process.
