Matt Fajkus Architecture
http://www.mfarchitecture.com
MF Architecture is a dynamic and award-winning Austin-based practice, recognized as one of the Forbes Top 200 Residential Architects in America. Our founding Principal Architect, Matt Fajkus, is a published author and award-winning Professor at the UT School of Architecture. Sarah Johnson is also Principal Architect at MF Architecture, and she has been recognized as an exceptional emerging leader and talent in a feature editorial article in the Austin Business Journal. While we believe in strong ideas and conceptual narratives to drive our work and our team, we are simultaneously rooted in realizing exceptional buildings, having completed more than 100 buildings to date – earning more than 40 design awards at the regional, national, and international levels.
We are a reflective practice, based on the premise that we learn and grow from each project as part of a larger body of work, in order to ground our process and incrementally innovate as we move ahead. We strive for relevancy beyond the typical boundaries of architecture by pursuing a broad range of projects in terms of scale and type. Furthermore, our press, publicity, social media outreach are means to educate about the value of Architecture.
Our work has been published more than 500 times in Arch Daily, Dwell Magazine, on National Public Radio, Dezeen, Texas Architect, and in The Wall Street Journal.
