Discuss a Project

Architecture begins with careful observation.

We approach design through an understanding of context, material, climate, history, and the ways people inhabit space. Each project is considered as both a technical responsibility and an opportunity to create lasting architectural value.

SM

A multidisciplinary approach to architectural practice.

Stephen Matthew Designs brings together architecture, engineering, design communication, research, teaching, and project leadership in an independent Miami-based practice.

The practice is grounded in technical rigor and a belief that architecture should respond meaningfully to place, light, history, and human experience.

About the Practice

Research as a tool for architectural practice.

Design research expands the practice beyond conventional project delivery to investigate how architecture can respond to emerging technologies, environmental conditions, new methods of representation, and changing patterns of use.
