The signature architecture of Magalie Munters is sculptural in form. Structured with clarity and intention.

Magalie Munters Architecture™ is a Belgian architecture studio led by architect and founder Magalie Munters.

Formerly Office O Architects (OOA).

Our story

In 2006 Magalie founded OOA | Office O architects. She works with like-minded people, some of whom she met while studying.

Magalie was an international model while pursuing her Master's degree in Architecture. Extensive travel nourished her work with a broad and international perspective.

Next to the love of forward-thinking design, there has always been a longing for an all-in-one solution enhanced by an interest in technology.

The project Villa MQ can be seen as the epitome and synthesis of what that forward-thinking design looks like for OOA. Villa MQ has been internationally rewarded and published.

As a result of the attention, demand for a similar built design increased among our clientele. Our objective was to make the process of building more efficient. The details needed to be as pure as the design itself.

Consequently, we searched for a construction method that could help us. This research led to an innovative building process. What is most important is that what we imagine, model, and visualize can be transformed into a high-quality building in every aspect.

Sculptural space is shaped by structure, light and material.

Form is never independent from construction. From the first sketch onward, structure and detailing evolve alongside spatial expression.

What appears expressive is carefully resolved. What feels effortless is the result of clarity and intention.

Architecture is conceived as one coherent whole.

Purity in complexity

Architecture is not treated as an isolated object, but as an experience shaped by movement and perception.As one moves through space, perspective unfolds. Complexity is structured so that the experience remains clear and coherent.

Recognition & Publications

The studio’s work has been internationally published and recognised.

Villa MQ received the Häuser Award for Spectacular Houses — marking a key moment in the development of the studio’s sculptural architectural language.

These recognitions affirm a coherent architectural language developed over time.

Craftsmanship and innovation

Sculptural architecture requires structural certainty.A constructive system is already in place — allowing complex geometries to be realised with precision and control. Design is conceived with full awareness of how it will be built.

The structural intelligence remains discreet, allowing materiality and craftsmanship to be fully experienced.

This approach is further developed within Details/Systems™, supporting sculptural architecture with technical coherence.

Investment & Value

Architecture is developed with full awareness of construction logic and long-term performance.

Decisions are made holistically — balancing spatial ambition with structural and material integrity.
