About the practice

Through its work, MSA is redefining the role of the design-led practice in architecture. We believe that being small doesn't stop us thinking and delivering big. Led by Matthew Springett, MSA is an award winning, highly ambitious, architectural design practice with extensive experience in the design of homes, workplaces, buildings for education and visitor attractions. Our clients include commercial developers, charities, local authorities and private individuals and projects range from private houses and public installations to new schools and RIBA accredited Client Adviser services for large-scale local authority projects. Dynamic and design led, we have built our reputation on flexibility and an ability to respond imaginatively to the individual circumstances of our clients. Central to this approach is our experience in facilitating dialogue with all of a project’s participants. We put the needs of users first, working from the inside out, whilst maintaining a pragmatic and practical approach. We are pragmatic, intelligent designers who recognise the reality of operating to limited budgets and tight schedules and the necessity for fast-paced work in today’s competitive, commercial environment. We work collaboratively with a wide range of world class consultants and contractors to deliver our projects. MSA’s ambition is to craft fine, innovative buildings which meet and exceed the needs of clients and end-users, with exemplary professionalism, sustainability and quality. We are passionate about improving people’s quality of life through improvement of their built environment.
