Not joining a group. Building one together.
MIRROR is not a fixed structure that studios have to fit into. It is built around strong studios, not instead of them, and it changes with every studio that becomes part of it.

Stay the studio
you are.
Gain the possibilities of a group.
01
Idea
Your studio stays yours.
Your architecture. Your relationships. Your team. Your local leadership. Your voice.
Differences are the value.
The differences between our offices are what make the group valuable. Not one house style, but many studios with their own signature.

Together
What becomes possible together
Different strengths. New possibilities.
Not because one side has what the other lacks, but because different strengths create new possibilities together.
01
More reach
Access to larger and cross-border projects.
02
More expertise
Specialists from other offices join when a project needs them.
03
More capacity
A bigger team behind you when a project grows.
04
Shared investment
Technology, tools and resources that are easier to build together.
05
More credibility
The portfolio of the whole group behind every pitch you make.
06
Bigger opportunities
Scale, without giving up what makes your studio distinctive.
This only works if both sides become stronger.
04
In practice
A project starts in your city
Your studio leads. The group joins.
Client relationship, design and local delivery stay with you. The right expertise joins from across the group. One project. The right expertise. Local leadership.
01
Acquisition stays local
Winning projects is the work of your studio. The group does not hand out projects.
02
Support from the group
Acquisition support, pitch material and the experience of the whole group behind your proposals.
03
One portfolio behind you
The work of every office in your pitch: more credibility, larger capacities, more diverse references.

Two ways in
One philosophy. Two ways in.
An existing studio, or a new one.
Both ways follow the same idea: your architecture stays yours, the group stands behind it.

For
Architecture studios that want to grow without giving up what they have built.
Architects starting their own practice who would rather spend their first years designing.
You stay
The owner, the leader and the architect of your studio.
The founder and the architect of your studio.
Stays yours
Name, city, style, team, clients and local leadership.
Your team, your clients, your prices and the way you design.
The group brings
Acquisition support and the portfolio of the whole group, infrastructure and capital, and expertise from Munich, Rome and Palma.
From day one: brand and portfolio, acquisition support, the MIRROR app, back-office, marketing and the advisory board.
Who decides
Your studio keeps its decisions: team, clients, design. Brand and quality standards are agreed together.
You decide hiring, local pricing, clients and design. Brand use and international projects are agreed together. IT and shared services are run by the group.
Your part
Winning projects in your city stays your job, as it is today. The group supports it.
Winning clients in your city stays your job. The group makes it easier, it does not replace it.

A partnership tailored to you, not a standard contract.

Together
One group. Your studio, stronger than before.
