M W A I

At MWAI, we are a London-based architecture and interiors practice with a passion for history, sustainability, and people. Our team of experienced architects and interior designers has a deep understanding of working in heritage contexts and navigating the complex planning issues that ensue. With a strong reputation for impeccable client service and a keen interest in the history and context of each site, we craft unique solutions that meet our clients' vision and objectives.

Our Approach

At MWAI, we believe that design is not just about creating beautiful spaces, but also about creating functional and sustainable spaces that positively transform how people live and work. Our design process is centered around understanding the client's brief, the site's history and context, and the requirements of the project. We engage our staff in a culture of learning and experimentation to promote fresh thinking and creativity. Research and sharing are core values that underpin our ethos to constantly evolve and exceed our clients' expectations.

Our approach is centered around finding inventive solutions that balance the needs of the client with the requirements of the historic or listed building.
