CABINS & RETREATS
Shaped by the Welsh landscape, our cabins and retreats are compact, low-impact buildings for rest, work and escape. Across Wales and England, we design garden studios, home offices, holiday cabins, glamping accommodation and woodland or hillside retreats, built from natural materials and planned around light, views and the surrounding landscape.
HOUSING
From a cluster of rural homes to a full neighbourhood, we shape residential schemes across Cardiff, South Wales, Wales and England for landowners, developers, communities and private clients. We look at what a site can offer before deciding what it should become, testing layouts, planning routes and landscape ideas early so the strongest scheme emerges. Natural materials, low-energy design and generous daylight run through each project, creating homes and public spaces that are a pleasure to live in and that last.
NEW BUILD HOMES
Every new home begins with the client, the site and the way the house will be lived in. Our bespoke new build homes in Cardiff and across Wales are organised around daylight, sustainable materials and long-term performance, resulting in houses that are comfortable, enduring and rooted in their place.
COMMERCIAL & PUBLIC
From offices, workspaces and retail units to community halls, clinics and leisure buildings, MWD Architects design commercial and public architecture across Cardiff, South Wales, Wales and England. We work with developers, businesses, charities and community organisations, testing options and planning routes early so the brief is well resolved before it reaches site. Staying involved from feasibility through to detailed design, we make sure the ambition of the project carries into a finished building.
LISTED & HISTORIC BUILDING
Good decisions on a historic building start with understanding how it was made and how it behaves. Across Cardiff, South Wales, Wales and England, we study the fabric, history and significance of listed and traditional buildings, from stone barns and Victorian terraces to chapels, farmhouses and period townhouses, before adapting them for twenty-first century life. Conversions, refurbishments, extensions and repairs improve comfort, energy performance and accessibility, with new work that is clearly of its time and detailed to protect the original fabric.
HOME EXTENSIONS & RENOVATIONS
Most homes have more to give than their layout allows. Across Cardiff, South Wales, Wales and England, we design extensions, renovations and retrofit projects for Victorian terraces, Edwardian and 1930s semis, cottages, bungalows and family houses that have outgrown their plan. We open up dark rooms, improve the flow between spaces and raise energy performance, with new additions that respect the character of the original house, giving you a home that is more spacious, more comfortable and cheaper to run.
