concepts, architecture, urbanism and design.

Studio Motivation

moh architects is a group of architects based in Vienna and Berlin dedicated to developing a fresh approach towards architecture, urbanism and design.

Fascinated by space, technology, technique and any form of unconventional thinking, the studio strives to make a contribution to the discipline of architecture both in the fields of academic, reasearch-driven design methodologies as well as built work. The firm has already developed internationally recognized projects ranging from typological reasearch to large-scale urban developments and has been published in a wide range of magazines and books.

We are currently working hard on further projects
