ABOUT US

MASStudio is not just a name, it has come together to provide stellar architectural and structural services. Established in 2019, it originated from the initials of the founding partners, Marcia and Sara, to provide our clientele with unparalleled, professional guidance and assistance.

MASS is also defined as a quantitative measure, there is no art or craft without knowledge, and preparation is a must for eventual success. MASS is matter, and what matters to us is the art of building and implementing our concepts, in addition to bringing them to life.

Both Marcia and Sara always had one common goal from the start: the thirst to question and to drive beyond the ordinary and to bring a distinctive approach, yet to create with commitment and sensitivity.

OUR STORY

Sarabelle D'Amato

B.E.&A. (Hons.) (Melit.)

Partner

Architect & Civil Engineer

Marcia Calleja Haber

B.E.&A. (Hons.) (Melit.)

Partner

Architect & Civil Engineer

Marcia Calleja Haber and Sarabelle (a.k.a. Sara) D’Amato started off as friends during their St. Aloysius Sixth Form days, between 2003 and 2005, which led them to successfully complete their A-Levels and move on to the University of Malta to follow the Bachelors Degree in Engineering and Architecture for a further five years. Marcia chose to study architecture and design, whilst Sara preferred to focus on structural engineering.

Upon graduation, in 2010, they went their separate ways and worked in separate architectural firms for another three years.

Sara’s role involved her being more hands-on in a local construction company, mainly dealing with site supervision, quantity surveying and structural engineering; whilst also working part-time in an architectural firm. Sara attained her warrant in 2012.

On the other hand, Marcia worked in an Architect's office, focusing mainly on completing projects from start-to-finish, concentrating a great deal on architectural detailing, interior design, and the finishing of each project. Marcia attained her warrant in 2012.

As from 2015, Sara and Marcia started collaborating together on a professional level, on their own projects, which led to the launch of MASStudio in 2019.
