MRA Architecture Studio is a SACAP-registered practice founded in 2021 in Durban by Matthew Argall. The studio was born from a passion to transform people's lives by designing exceptional spaces to live and work in.

Our work spans residential homes, commercial workplaces, hospitality, and public spaces across the city. Design with the user in mind is the driving principle of the firm — and we stay with each commission from the first sketch through to handover.
