MKA brings people together for the new sustainable ways people want to live.
Our network of strategists, innovators and architects help our clients to co-create strategic Super Future narratives using Super Systems for shared living, sustainable stay, creative hubs and circular neighborhoods.
We also pioneer and prototype Super Systems to prove the future is already here, like Superlofts, Superwood, Mama Pioneers, EveLiving and Openbuilding.co
We invite you to shoot for the moon and build the Super Spaces of tomorrow today, together.
We should all feel at home in the city.
We just need to feel like we belong.
MKA dares to shape how we live, not just where.
We pioneer urban spaces to draw people together and draw out their potential.
We do it because it’s what people crave.
Because it’s what makes a city truly alive.
And because we can.

MaMa Pioneers is a network of sustainable communities offering affordable rental housing, social spaces and co-work ateliers in multiple sites in Amsterdam and Milan.
In 2021 MKA opened an atelier in Lisbon and initiated EVE; a hybrid shared living, creative community and hospitality concept, based in three regenerative ocean farms in Alentejo, Porto Brandão and Meco.
Superlofts is a customisable co-housing model based on modular, circular, adaptable and biobased Super Systems like Superwood. Superlofts offers its members the freedom to customize or co-create their apartments from scratch incorporating shared spaces to build local communities.
SuperBlocks are hybrid city blocks that offer something back to the public, like an atrium, public square, tiny forest, mobility hub or pool deck. SuperBlocks create SuperStreets making space for public domain. SuperHuman projects explore affordable and human centered housing strategies for shared living to “own less but have more”. SuperPower projects are buildings that positively alter the communities and ( brand) image of the organizations they represent and upgrade their context. SuperNatural projects explore new ways to live in harmony with nature.
