Core offering

Mayslits Kassif Roytman Architects is a multi-disciplinary architecture practice delivering urban planning, landscape architecture, public building design, and waterfront development services. The firm works primarily for Israeli municipal governments and public institutions, acquired through winning major public architectural competitions, and for private developers and corporations via direct commissions. All engagements are underpinned by the firm's proprietary MotherPlan and SuperNature methodologies used for strategic urban renewal and resilient coastal development.

Product overview

Mayslits Kassif Roytman Architects is an established architectural practice founded in Tel Aviv in 1994, operating as a multi-disciplinary firm that offers a unified portfolio of services rather than a modular software platform. The firm specializes in four interconnected service areas: urban planning and design, landscape architecture, public buildings design, and waterfront development—all underpinned by their proprietary MotherPlan and SuperNature methodologies. Their signature projects include the Tel-Aviv Port Renewal (55,000 m2), Tel Aviv's Central Beach Promenade (2.5 km), and Acre's South Promenade (3 km beachfront), alongside major international projects such as the Shenshan SuperNature Waterfront in China. The firm serves government municipalities, development authorities, and private clients across Israel and internationally, focusing on public space transformation, cultural institutions, and coastal revitalizations.

Broad incumbents

• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): Copenhagen/New York architecture and urbanism firm with a strong record on masterplans, public buildings, and waterfront city projects (e.g., Dryline, VIA 57 West, masterplans in the Americas). Comparable in competition-driven, mission-led public architecture but at significantly greater scale.
• Snøhetta: Norwegian architecture and design firm operating across architecture, landscape, interiors, and urbanism (e.g., SFMOMA expansion, Norwegian National Opera). Comparable broader peer combining architecture with public-realm and waterfront expertise, competing with MKR for similar cultural and public commissions.
• MVRDV: Dutch architecture and urbanism practice known for master plans, public buildings, and urban regeneration (e.g., Tainan Axis, Markthal). Overlaps with MKR in competition-led public architecture and urban planning at city scale.

Direct peers

• SWA Group: US landscape architecture, urban planning, and urban design firm with strong waterfront and public-space credentials (e.g., Shanghai Bund, Los Angeles River). Comparable to MKR in delivering award-winning public realm and coastal regeneration work via competitions.
• West 8: Amsterdam-based urban design and landscape architecture firm renowned for waterfront, public space, and master planning projects (e.g., Borneo-Sporenburg, Madrid Río). Direct comparable to MKR on waterfront regeneration, urban master planning, and competition-driven public projects.
• OLIN: Philadelphia-based landscape architecture and urban design studio (OLIN Labs / OLIN Studio) focused on public realms, waterfronts, and cultural landscapes. Closely comparable to MKR for high-profile urban and waterfront commissions delivered to municipalities and cultural institutions.
• Sasaki Associates: Boston-based planning, urban design, landscape architecture, and architecture practice with a global portfolio of campus, waterfront, and city-scale regeneration. Highly comparable to MKR in combining landscape architecture, urban planning, and public-building design for institutional/government clients.
• Field Operations: Landscape architecture and urban design studio (James Corner / Field Operations), best known for the High Line and other large-scale public space transformations. Directly comparable to MKR's waterfront-and-public-realm profile and competition-winning stance.

Regional players

• HASSELL: Australia-headquartered architecture, urban design, and landscape practice with significant Asia-Pacific and global waterfront and public-realm work. Comparable as a multidisciplinary architecture/urban/landscape firm pursuing public and waterfront commissions, but operating primarily outside Israel.

Others

• Brundtland + Hartzen (and similar Israeli architecture peers): Israeli architecture firms such as Kimmel Eshkolot, Plesner Architects, and Yashar Architects compete with MKR on Israeli municipal and public-architecture competitions. Closest local alternatives for the same client base, though smaller international footprint than MKR.
