About the Firm
Morris Adjmi Architects (MA) is an award-winning multidisciplinary design firm offering a comprehensive approach to planning, architecture, interior design, and art. Guided by a passion for placemaking, we’ve designed over 27 million square feet of built space in more than 25 cities throughout the U.S. and abroad. Our portfolio spans residential, hospitality, commercial, arts & culture, and institutional markets, with expertise in adaptive reuse, new construction, entitlement and zoning support, urban planning, interiors, and art services.
Our Interiors practice is shaped by MA’s Conversation-Driven Design Ethos, rooted in dialogue and collaboration. We believe the most meaningful designs emerge through an exploration of context, proportion, and creative vision, balancing tradition with innovation. This ethos drives us to create interiors that are timeless yet contemporary, layered with materials and details that enrich the client experience. By blending architectural rigor with artistry, we craft environments that inspire, endure, and tell a story.
