Max is a Technologist at SHIFT Architecture, where he brings a resourceful, problem-solving approach to every project. With a Master’s of Architecture from RWTH Aachen University in Germany, his career has taken him through diverse practices across Europe spanning healthcare, education, and heritage conservation. These experiences, often rooted in working within existing structures and tight constraints, have shaped a design philosophy grounded in uncovering hidden potential. For Max, the most compelling ideas tend to emerge when resources are limited, and architecture becomes a tool for creating value where others might see none.

At SHIFT, this mindset finds a natural home. The studio's focus on projects with real character, ones that challenge assumptions and encourage creative exploration, closely reflects his own ambitions. Surrounded by a collaborative team, he is inspired to push his thinking and bring ideas to life through dialogue and iteration.
