WHO
We’re a small group of folks trying to accomplish our work while also growing professionally and personally through our design.
WHAT
We began with a landscaping project on such a modest scale where we had to do everything ourselves. Then we got the opportunity to work on more projects ranging from interior styling to interior and landscape design. We also collaborated with sculptural teams on landscape projects. We may say that our studio sells style.

WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY
“Muslim.Architect.For.Community” or MAFC, is a group of young people gathered together, using professions of architecture, interior design, landscaping and engineering together to develop global society. We define architecture as “Pace to practice goodness.” It means every work we’re involved with must be placed where people use to practice good deed. It must support daily basic needs to user in both physical and spiritual way. We truly believe that architect is an important profession because architecture is a key component in keeping develop house, town and human civilization peacefully. Today, we focus on architecture that plays a large part in society. There are works that develop rural and urban communities, which are mostly educational, spiritual, culture and public buildings that come in various typologies according to each context from research.
