MAST is an internationally recognised water-based design studio, headquartered on Copenhagen’s harbour.
We work with water to shape adaptive landscapes, floating architecture, flood-resilient communities, maritime facilities, and public swimming spaces.
Waterways are often the largest, yet most overlooked public spaces in our cities.
We work with municipalities and businesses to reclaim these spaces, reconnecting urban life to the water and inviting people back to the waterfront. In Copenhagen, we have helped transform the former industrial harbour into a vibrant public realm a model that can inspire cities around the world.
As floods grow more frequent and sea-level rise becomes a reality, cities must adapt.
We see this challenge as an opportunity to create new connections, adaptable floating buildings, vibrant waterfront parks, and integrated flood defences. Our work focuses on designing resilient communities that thrive with, not against, the water.
Floating construction unlocks new possibilities for housing and tourism development, especially where land is limited or vulnerable to change.
We create adaptable, low-impact buildings that respond gracefully to the natural forces around them. From off-grid hotel cabins to modular homes, our designs are resilient, responsible, and deeply connected to their environment.
