MKV Design is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning interior architecture and design practice specialising in the hospitality sector.

Under the leadership of its Founder, Maria Katsarou-Vafiadis, the practice has delivered such benchmark resort projects as Costa Navarino (hotels, restaurants, clubhouses, spa & Navarino Dunes agora) and the redesign of Burgenstock (refurbishments, repurposing & the addition of a new hotel, restaurants and spa), while it is also recognised for exceptional hotels in urban locations, including Matild Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Budapest, Grand Hyatt Athens and Sheraton Grand Park Lane in London. Currently, the firm is engaged on a new, luxury resort in Crans Montana as well as resort hotels in Marbella and Crete and a number of residential projects in Greece and the UK.

Throughout its nearly 25 years of practice, MKV Design has enthusiastically embraced evolving guest expectations of the hotel and resort experience, championed the value of context and purpose in hospitality design and celebrated the storytelling power of the natural world, beautiful and sustainable materials and local art and craftmanship. Maria, herself, has become a sought-after speaker at international industry events and contributed her company’s resources to concept installations exploring the future direction of hotel design as well as to initiatives encouraging the next generation of architects and designers to join the hospitality industry.

MKV offers a full range of interior design services from design brief advisory, narrative and concept creation and space planning through to schematic design, FF&E specification, artwork packages and installation supervision. The company is based in London.
