From intention
to completion.
MAIMO supports property companies, investors, land developers, operators and public and private clients at every stage of their operations - from identifying a potential to delivering the project. Depending on needs, we act as adviser, assistant, project director or architect.
Informing the decision.
Revealing the possibilities.
Giving the client the means to decide before committing.
Before the project comes the intuition: an asset to transform, a site to reveal, a programme to question, a use to invent. We cross urban, architectural, regulatory, technical, economic and environmental dimensions to reveal potential, identify constraints and build well-informed scenarios.
Real-estate strategy & asset enhancement
Questioning the future of an asset or site and identifying the levers that reveal its real-estate, architectural, urban and functional value.
Feasibility & programming
Turning a real-estate ambition into a possible project: testing the expected uses against the site’s capacity, its context, regulatory and technical constraints and the economics of the operation.
Defending the client’s
ambition.
Standing beside the client to stay the course.
Between the initial intention and its realisation, a project goes through a succession of studies, consultations, decisions and trade-offs. We keep a cross-cutting view of the operation and bring programme, architecture, engineering, economics, environment and schedule into dialogue, so that necessary trade-offs never lose sight of the initial ambition.
Client advisory services - owner’s representative
Adviser and operational partner to the client, on an ad-hoc basis or throughout the operation: structuring the project, organising information, anticipating decisions and coordinating expertise.
Design-phase advisory - owner’s representative for design
Design is one of the decisive moments in value creation. Our architectural and technical culture allows a demanding dialogue with designers while keeping the client’s point of view.
Operational support & delivery
During construction, MAIMO keeps the client’s eye on the operation and supports its decisions through to occupation.
Taking responsibility
for leading.
Moving the project forward, mastering its complexity.
Some projects call for a continuous operational presence. MAIMO then takes charge of all or part of the operation’s management on the client’s behalf: organising the players, decisions, schedule and resources needed to turn a strategy into a completed project.
Delegated project management
Under a precisely defined mandate, MAIMO acts on the client’s behalf and runs the operation day to day. The principal retains strategic decisions and relies on a partner responsible for daily delivery.
Project direction & management
When the complexity or duration of an operation requires a dedicated resource, MAIMO joins the client’s organisation as a true extension of its teams.
Giving form
to transformation.
Revealing a response specific to each place.
To design is to interpret what is already there in order to imagine what could come about. When MAIMO acts as architect, our standpoint shifts but our standards remain the same: understanding the place, the programme and the client’s ambitions before drawing. Architecture, engineering, economics, landscape and uses are components of a single project.
Architecture & design services
From first sketch to handover, an architecture attentive to the existing, to uses, to the landscape and to the durability of buildings.
Design & transformation of existing buildings
Transformation is MAIMO’s favoured territory. Refurbishing, restructuring, extending or converting requires understanding before acting: revealing a building’s qualities, identifying what can be kept and transforming with precision what must evolve.
Architecture, landscape & uses
A project stops neither at its façade nor at the limits of its plot. Outdoor spaces, planting, landscape continuities and uses fully contribute to the quality and value of a place, from the very first design thoughts.
From real-estate strategy to architecture, MAIMO adapts its position to each project with the same ambition: turning complexity into project material.
