dMAS

Year Established: 2014

Founded in 2014 by Alfred Dragani and Concetta Martone, dMAS is an award-winning architecture, planning and interior design studio in Philadelphia. dMAS is committed to problem solving through the creative process. We believe that exceptional works of architecture are the result of close collaboration between designer, owner, user group, and contractor. The studio’s services include feasibility studies, programming and conceptual design, design of interior spaces, design of new structures, and adaptive reuse of existing structures. Our work varies in scale from small interventions to the design of buildings from the ground up. Sustainable Design is a core principal of our practice. As designers, we have a responsibility to protect and preserve our environment, and the history and energy embodied in our existing buildings. Adaptive Reuse of existing buildings is an area of great interest to our studio and a focus of our research. Recycling and imagining new uses for neglected buildings, infrastructure, and open spaces hold great promise for the making of sustainable urban and suburban communities that connect people to one another and to their environment.
