Mattaforma is a New York–based architecture and design studio focused on cultivating deeper relationships between people, materials, and the natural world. Their work blends architecture, landscape, and interiors into environments that grow and adapt over time, drawing on plant-based materials, reclaimed elements, and site-specific strategies that respond directly to land, light, and local conditions.
The studio’s process pairs research with hands-on exploration sketches, models, digital simulations—to uncover opportunities unique to each site. Their services range from full-scope architectural design and planning to specialized expertise in mass timber, modular strategies, sustainability consulting, and advanced material sourcing. This holistic approach results in projects that feel cohesive, ecosystemic, and grounded in long-term stewardship.
Founded by architect and author Lindsey Wikstrom, Mattaforma is recognized for its forward-looking, regenerative design perspective, with additional work in research, teaching, and public speaking. The studio continues to push conversations about ecological futures while helping clients bring thoughtful, resilient spaces to life.
