Martyna Borucinska

Architectural Designer

Martyna’s design sensibility has a strong egalitarian bent. “Everyone, regardless of their socio-economic background should have access to well-designed spaces.”

Her experience leading a construction crew as an AmeriCorps volunteer made such a significant impact in the way she perceives community-oriented architecture. She is particularly interested in urban landscapes that encourage human scale interaction between buildings and streets. This social ideal is omnipresent in the way she translates her knowledge in construction and design language to improve the sense of place in all the M2 projects she works on.
