maria uporova design
bureau mud is a creative practice I founded in 2025, specializing in art direction within the architectural field—designing bespoke spaces and experiences.
After over five years as an architect at Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, I launched my own practice, focusing on interior architecture and the fusion of creative direction with spatial design.
An artistic approach is at the core of my work, shaping ideas into thoughtfully designed spaces and experiences—starting with visual concepts and carrying through to execution.
Based in Barcelona, working worldwide.
