Info

Maja Paklar Architect is an architecture studio specializing in residential, commercial, retail and hospitality projects. Projects range from new construction and interior and historic brownstone renovations to commercial build outs.

We believe in a collaborative discourse between architects, clients, builders, and fabricators. Through this collaborative process, our design approach considers budget constraints, site specific factors and clients’ needs to create skillfully executed and beautiful designs.

Our services include space planning, concept and schematic design, design development, construction documentation and detailing, bid coordination, building permit assistance and construction administration.  We also offer decorative layer services, such as lighting design, interior finish and material specifications and furniture selection. Our design forward thinking encompasses our love of beautiful detailing and material explorations.  

About Maja

Maja is a licensed architect in the state of New York, with over 15 years of experience working on large scale residential, commercial, retail, and cultural projects. While working as a senior designer at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), Maja designed several cultural and educational centers in China, the Middle East, and the US. The love for such typology brought her to Diller Scofidio + Renfro, a prestigious interdisciplinary design studio whose provocative work blurs the boundaries between art and architecture, and later, a boutique architecture firm Allied Works.

Maja has Bachelors of Design Degree from University of Florida, and Masters of Architecture Degree from Harvard University. Her graduating thesis was awarded the distinguished James Templeton Kelley Prize by the Boston Society of Architects in 2009.
