Studio MUKA is a practice comprised of architects & designers based in Los Angeles. The studio’s work consists of ground-up buildings, interiors and custom furnishings for private and public spaces. Our approach is founded and built upon our three fundamental pillars that serve as our guiding principles, History, Emotion and Innovation. The design of our buildings and interiors are told through visual storytelling, memory, feeling and atmosphere. We are a multidisciplinary team that combines architecture and interior design to create narratives around a theme or topic as it relates to the sensibilities of the project location and our collaborators.
