MRDK is a nominal partnership made up of like-minded creatives working independently under one roof in Montreal Canada. We specialize in residential architecture, commercial interiors, and industrial design.
Our process is rooted in a respect for the site, the client, craftsmen, and materiality. This respect guides the way we conceive spaces and how we bridge the gap between aesthetics and functionality.
We thrive on detail-oriented spaces in which each element relates to a central narrative to create a cohesive experience that resonates with the users. This level of coherence is achieved by giving the same attention to the big ideas as to the smallest details.
Every project is an opportunity to establish a relationship and dialogue with the client. We work collaboratively to decode their ideas, needs, and desires and translate them into reality.
Working closely with skilled tradespersons and craftsmen, we welcome each project as a unique opportunity to explore and integrate new processes and materials. This results in an ever-evolving and innovative approach specific to each project.
