About Us
Founded in the 1970s by renowned Mexican architect Marcos Sáinz, co-creator of the iconic Puerto Banús, MS Design & Architecture has played a defining role in shaping the architectural identity of Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Guided by a vision rooted in elegance, innovation, and Mediterranean tradition, the studio has been instrumental in the creation of some of the region’s most emblematic spaces.
From Playas del Duque, Marbella Club, and Los Naranjos Golf Club to exclusive private residences in La Zagaleta, El Madroñal, and Sierra Blanca, as well as landmark projects such as Swans International School, Kabuki, Islantilla, La Alcaidesa, and Trattoria L’Impronta, MS Design & Architecture continues to set the benchmark for luxury design and architectural excellence.
In collaboration with Maurice Sáinz, and a dedicated multidisciplinary team, the studio has embraced a holistic approach that seamlessly integrates architecture, urban planning, interior design, and graphic design, along with the creation of bespoke villas across Spain and internationally. Their combined expertise reflects a deep mastery of light, proportion, and atmosphere—creating spaces that are not only visually captivating but also functional, enduring, and emotionally resonant. Each project is a testament to timeless design, meticulous craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to innovation.
