Thinking & Living Like An Architect by Michaelis Boyd Associates

Thinking & Living Like An Architect by Michaelis Boyd Associates

Divided into three chapters, Houses in the City, Houses in the Country and Places People Go To, the book showcases some of MBA's most spectacular projects, showing site pictures before, during and after construction. Most architecture books gloss over the nightmare part of the build, but the authors are keen to explain exactly what to expect during the process. Scattered throughout the book are some of the inspirations for MBA's designs, things they like and items that inspire them. While much of their work is focused in Central London, MBA has undertaken commissions worldwide including France,Germany and Los Angeles. In particular, their work for the Soho House Group and their emphasis on recycling and the environment have been the hallmarks of their success. Whether their commissions are commercial, residential or charitable, country or town houses, hotels, restaurants or bars, MBA create spaces you really want to eat, live or stay in. A quirky sense of humour is always at play, infusing their work with an empathy and warmth that many architects in the same filed just miss. Theirs is a vibrant and very busy practice.

Michaelis Boyd Associates (MBA) was formed in 1995 by Alex Michaelis and Tim Boyd and has established itself as a practice producing simple, elegant architecture with an environmental emphasis. Alex and Tim met whilst working in the same practice and prior to doing so, had worked for Richard Rogers & Partners, Colquhoun and Wickham and Associates. Clients include UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, Harry Enfield, the film director Paul Weiland and numerous media and financial leaders.
