Five decades of
architecture
without compromise

Founded by visionary architect Marcos Sáinz and carried forward by Maurice Sáinz, MS Design & Architecture has spent over five decades defining the architectural identity of Marbella and the Mediterranean coast.

From iconic urban developments like Puerto Banús to bespoke private villas in La Zagaleta, our studio blends rigorous spatial intelligence with a deep sensitivity to place, light, and material. Every project is a conversation between landscape and structure, tradition and innovation.

The architect who builds with the eyes the soul

Marcos Sáinz began his career with an audacious vision: to create a Mediterranean port that would become a cultural and architectural landmark. Puerto Banús, designed alongside Noldi Schreck, achieved exactly that — and became one of the most recognised waterfronts in Europe.

«Every time we finish something, I experience an enormous sadness. Because I’m finishing my work — it means it is now complete — and it feels like it no longer belongs to me.»
