MARGO is a creative studio that considers architecture as a process that can be applied to a variety of different scales and formats :

Conventionally, MARGO designs spaces (E.g. buildings, rooms, renovations).

Non-conventionally, MARGO is passionate about applying a design process to unique questions requiring creative answers (E.g. graphics, objects, rituals).

Radically, MARGO is committed to extending design education to non-designers in a mutually beneficial relationship (E.g. design courses, writing workshops, community lectures).
