MASA is a natural blend of JAPANESE sensitivity & DUTCH pragmatism. We are specialists in the field of architecture, interior, and product design. MASA treats architecture as a part of the environment rather than an independent object. We orchestrate design as a synthesis of architecture, urbanism, and landscape to contribute to creating a sustainable society, environment, and culture. In 2015, the architecture department of Maxwan architects+urbanists (since 1994) became an independent company called MASA architects consist of two partners, Hiroki MAtsuura (JP) and René SAngers (NL), both belonged to Maxwan for 20 years. Hiroki was the partner at Maxwan for 14 years.
