Cigler Marani Architects,a.s.

Cigler Marani Architects a.s. (CMA) is an architectural studio, which started its activities in November 2001. It was founded by the Czech architect Jakub Cigler together with the American architect Vincent Marani. While Jakub Cigler has brought a creative experience of working in the domestic and international architectural scene to the company, Vincent Maranis contribution consisted in the long-term experiences in the technical management of a number of projects in the contemporary American and European architecture.

Immediately after its establishment, CMA placed itself among the leading Czech companies engaging in progressive architecture. The studio has won several awards for its work, both at home and abroad (including Duan Jurkovi Award, the most important prize awarded in Slovakia), and has been one of the founding members of the Association of the Czech Green Building Council. They have succeeded with their works and projects in architectural competitions and have been regularly presented in professional journals.

CMA has had a broad scope of design activities focusing on various types of architecture: residential buildings, office buildings, as well as shopping centres and hotels. They manage construction of new buildings and renovations. With each project CMA also deals with cultivating the public space and improving urbanism in the specific area. CMA architecture is based on the well-arranged forms, on a continuing dialogue between the inner and outer space and on a significant transparency which brings a natural light into the interior. At the same time, each building is supplemented with the green space.

A subsidiary architecture company OOO CMA located in Moscow was established in November 2011 in response to the growing construction demand in the Russian Federation. OOO CMA has been currently preparing 4 large urban projects in the Moscow region, directly in the developing part of Moscow.
