About

MADA was founded by Mădălina Băghiceanu, a licensed architect and architectural photographer with international experience in the Netherlands and Romania. With years of practice across a variety of architectural offices, Mădălina has developed a comprehensive approach to design that blends creativity with functionality.

Mădălina’s architectural philosophy is centered on the belief that spaces should foster meaningful connections between people and their environments. Every project is treated with care, considering not only its aesthetic appeal but also how it contributes to the daily lives of those who use it. Whether working on residential homes, cultural institutions, or commercial spaces, Mădălina’s designs are rooted in sustainability, context, and a deep understanding of the human experience.

As an architectural photographer, Mădălina brings a unique perspective to every shoot. Her photography focuses on capturing the soul of a space, paying attention to both the broad context and the intricate details that define its character. By telling the story of the space through powerful imagery, she enables architects, designers, and property owners to showcase their work in the best light, ensuring the essence of each project is preserved in every shot.
