Manthey Kula is an architecture office whose work moves freely between buildings, landscapes, furniture, and art practice.

Projects are won in competitions, commissioned by private or public clients, or self-generated. It is about stories; about culture; about making; and about how things are made.  It is an architecture of both fact and fiction.

Manthey Kula’s work is internationally awarded and widely published. Both founding partners have received the prestigious Prince Eugene Medal for outstanding artistic achievement.
