Studio dmau is a studio for urbanism, public space design and research.
Our work combines formal placemaking with participatory process, creating inclusive spaces that foster deep connections between communities and their surroundings. Over the past years we have developed projects across a range of scales, from larger neighbourhood transformation studies to community led masterplans to more detailed built playscapes and design research projects, please see the range of our work below.
Playscapes
Playscapes are public spaces where play is integrated into every aspect of the design. Places that encourage creative open-ended play that are open to multiple different uses and users.
Neighbourhood Studies
Research-led design at neighbourhood scale frequently in post war neighbourhoods. Working with communities in areas of regeneration, densification and spatial change.
Research and co-design
Searching for spatial justice through research and co-design. Projects developed with communities and groups on the spaces that shape their everyday life.
