The MCXVI Architects was founded in 2001 by five members of the XVIth Master’s College of Architecture. The name originates from here: MasterCourse XVI (MCXVI). In all the years since then, during the numerous design works of ours, we tried to preserve the spirit of the Master’s College. Currently, László Herczeg and Gábor Szokolyai, founders and leading architect designers, are in charge of the studio. We consider architecture our mission and we believe that the built environment can contribute fundamentally to the quality of human life. We intend to incorporate all technical, financial, legal and architectural aspects into our design but we are also striving not to lose the real value of architecture, the greatness of creation, the responsibility for the community and the importance of a liveable, human scale. We interpret architecture in its complexity from the scale of urban design, buildings, interiors design to the products of industrial design and fine arts. This enables the buildings to become a coherent whole. The multiple levels of detailing not only enriches our architecture but also make it (as we hope) lovable and successful with multiple ways of interpretation.
