There are only a few companies that truly qualify as the best of the best. Chosen from the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Award Winners, the aim of the Top 100 is to establish an elite group of companies as industry leaders. Demonstrating superior levels of quality and forward-thinking excellence through their work, AMA Architects has been distinguished as one of the best Architects & Designers worldwide and have therefore been awarded the Top 100 Architects & Designers of the World for 2022.

Hailing and operating from Sandton – an area that is popularly referred to as “Africa’s richest square mile” – AMA Architects is a dynamic South African Architectural firm who have been recognized as a firm heading up the charge in Contemporary Design. They incorporate interior design services, together with a specialized project management service, and a highly skilled presentation department into their service function. Everyone involved is superb at what they specialize in, forming a well-rounded, symbiotic team that expertly delivers on commitments.

Founded in 1993, AMA Architects has established itself as a firm that possesses the creativity and expertise to achieve excellence across various building and development types. It is this ability to evolve and remain relevant across the board that Managing Director, Adrian Maserow considers their specialty: “AMA is a leading and broadly skilled mixed-use architectural and interior design specialist firm that benchmarks its skills and achievements to an international architectural conversation concerning placemaking and the humanization of our urban fabric.”

Their portfolio comprises projects that span the country and extends to greater parts of the continent, such as Kenya & Ghana, where they bring fresh vision to the African terrain.

Many of their buildings comprise part of the iconic Johannesburg skyline, while others extend to South Africa’s world-renowned coastal towns. Having excelled, over nearly three decades, in the design and delivery of head office buildings, office parks, residential developments, retail projects, beachside villas and hotels, commercial refurbishments, motor showrooms, and warehousing facilities, they conceptualize and create with a verve and vigour that shows no bounds.

Corporate clients are as varied as international automotive giants, Volkswagen, from South African multinational fast-food chain, Nandos, but what stays consistent is their ability to deliver advantageous results that revitalize any urban environment. There is a unique symbiosis in how their modernist approach complements, reflects, and honors the African landscape visually, materially and socially.

Maserow elaborates, “Each project we complete has an impact that positively resonates with the people who use and live in our environments. Our highly driven ambitions are always challenged with new project scope and functions and, because we focus on people, our vision consistently drives a fresh and hugely appealing brand of architecture.”

Locally, SAPOA – South African Property Owners Association – have recognized their innovation and awarded them the Overall Green Award, and the Overall Transformation Award last year with the Towers Main Urban Transformation Project.

Internationally, the World Architecture Festival – the “world’s largest festival and live awards competition dedicated to celebrating and sharing architectural excellence across the globe” – have recognized AMA Architects for their forward-thinking green solutions on a recently completed headquarters for mining firm Exxaro, a building called The ConneXXion. With a Five-Star Green Star rating, this earned a first-time Wellness rating in South Africa, adding to their contribution towards social responsibility.

Luxury Lifestyle Awards is proud to further recognize the unique contribution of AMA Architects to architecture and design globally with the Top 100 Architects & Designers of the World 2022 award, and to position them as the leading Architects of soulful design. With a refined focus on remarkable contemporary homes AMA Architects sees the design of each families haven as the pinnacle of their probing vision.
