We work with water
MAST is an internationally recognised water-based design studio, headquartered on Copenhagen’s harbour.
We work with water to shape adaptive landscapes, floating buildings, flood-resilient communities, maritime facilities, wellness and marine recreation spaces.
Waterways are often the largest, yet most overlooked public spaces in our cities.
We work to reclaim these spaces, reconnecting urban life to the water and inviting people back to the waterfront. In Copenhagen, we have helped transform the former industrial harbour into a vibrant public realm, a model that can inspire cities around the world.
As floods grow more frequent and sea-level rise becomes a reality, cities must adapt.
We see this challenge as an opportunity to create new connections, adaptable floating buildings, vibrant waterfront parks, and integrated flood defences. Our work focuses on designing resilient communities that don't work against the water, rather, thrive within it.
we build with water
At MAST we believe floating construction opens new possibilities for housing and tourism development, especially where land is limited or vulnerable to change.
We create adaptable, low-impact buildings that respond gracefully to the natural forces around them. Water becomes a key material in our design processes, allowing us to create resilient and responsible projects which are deeply connected to their surrounding environments.
