M A U D is an Architecture and Urban Design practice based in Auckland.
Our work ranges from bespoke residential projects, to work space and hospitality fit outs, to masterplanning and the preparation of design guidelines.
At M A U D, we’re passionate about design and delight in finding elegant solutions to complex issues. Creative thinking, attention to detail and functional performance are the basis for everything we do.
We are committed to providing excellent service to our clients and have a broad range of skills that can manage your project from first inception to the completion of the construction process.
M A U D was established by Registered Architect Natasha Markham in 2015. Her belief that quality design solutions play a significant role in creating successful, liveable spaces, is backed by her experience working on a range of different projects from apartment design and bespoke housing to strategic planning and visioning projects for areas designated for change.
Natasha has also worked as an urban designer for both local government and the private sector, and currently provides independent design review as member and chair on the Auckland Urban Design Panel and the Hobsonville and Auckland Housing Programme Design Review Panels.
In her spare time, Natasha co-hosts 76 Small Rooms, a podcast about architecture from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
M A U D is a New Zealand Institute of Architects practice member.
