Florian Marquet
Florian Marquet studied Architecture in Belgium under the mentorship of Jan De Vylder from 2008 to 2013.
Following his graduation, he spent a gap year in New York City, where he participated in an exchange program at Pratt Institute. During this time, he engaged with several high-profile architects, artists, and industry leaders, expanding both his professional network and his interdisciplinary perspective on design.
In 2013, Florian continued his academic journey in Japan, pursuing his Master's degree through exchange at the University of Tokyo under the guidance of Kengo Kuma. This period deeply influenced his architectural philosophy, particularly his sensitivity to materiality, context, and spatial experience.
Prior to establishing his own studio, Florian collaborated with renowned architectural offices in New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Paris, contributing to projects of varying scales across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Ethos
The project and client selection of the studio aims to express the power of architectural versatility and rational development of the design ethos.
Our approach starts from working out the details towards the end result, we believe details should build the building. Only good details bring a high level project, and only a high level project brings a high level client.
We collaborate on different project scales to control every aspect, we work on different project types, so we do not necessarily depend on the design market climate or crisis, therefore we can allow ourself to work and engage with the projects and clients we think are right for the company and can bring extra value to our future clients.
As a multi-disciplinary studio, we foster a collaborative in house approach: ONE-ALL
This has allowed us to develop new and unique solutions for our clients regarding multi scale designs integration. Focusing on the following in house services to control the quality and design for our clients.
Mission
The studio was founded in 2021 with the goal to create a selective design studio.
In a fast changing society, selecting and engaging with only clients or projects we value, gives us the commitment to undertake any projects as it was our first one. The studio is deeply committed to only engage and design concepts which are aligned with the will and vision of its selected clients and Vice Versa.
Our mission is driven by a Western identity and Asian philosophy that does not only restrict itself to our expertise, but offers us the ability to undertake more than what we believe in. A Western identity combined with an Asian approach, a balancing act encompasses not only great design, also timeless, innovative and unique values.
Our mission is to value our clients, through a delicate and strategic creative process, a combination of boutique and commercial design. MAP is a new genre of design studio offering tailored designs, tailored consulting and tailored service that sets a new industry standard.
We have taken the best from the boutique service and the best from commercial design service and created a new breed of company where everything has been rethought and every design process updated.
MAP is defined by the unique experience it creates rather than by a business classification or price. A tailored boutique design with extensive qualitative support of project scale design and a high care for client experience.
MAP marks the next chapter in the design industry.
