committed to create
a conscious and
balanced design
our core mission is to advance the human experience of built space. am studio weaves an array of raw or natural materials into a refined experience of space. we believe design is most successful when ideas and forms merge through a collaborative process.
meet the team
we apply an agile approach to every project rather than a prescribed style, as we believe good design is style neutral. our team consists of an interdisciplinary group of architects, as well as interior and industrial designers. this diversity is a key advantage our clients realize as it fosters harmony between architecture and interiors. our client base varies from individual high-end single-family custom homeowners to leading multi- family developers and restauranteurs. budget conscious.
paula spirk
paula andrea spirk founded am studio in 2012 with an emphasis on immersive, cohesive, and collaborative placemaking. she believes excellence in design emerges by forming a sympathetic connection between design professionals and those that will interact within a work product. paula holds a degree of architecture from universidad san buenaventura in cali colombia. she emigrated to the united states shortly after graduation to join zyscovich architects. during her tenure she completed prominent projects in miami such as ii midtown & 1111 lincoln rd (designed in collaboration with pritzker prize winning architect herzog and de meuron). today, she is the team-making force behind what has become a highly successful boutique design studio.
