AMA Studio is an Edinburgh, Scotland based practice of award-winning Architects and Urbanists. Formed in, it has a substantial body of work in the Scottish capital.
In recent years the modern nature of some of its designs has attracted criticism since it is not perceived to "fit" with Edinburgh's current architecture. Some commentators, including Magnus Linklater have even questioned whether too many buildings in Edinburgh have been designed by the firm.
In 2010 the Hotel Missoni in Edinburgh designed by the firm was awarded a Special Award for Scotland by the Civic Trust Awards. Hotel Missoni also won an RIBA Award in 2010.
In April 2020, the company became an employee owned trust.
