Shaping places, spaces and cities.

Innovative architecture driven by a passion for design, a commitment to delivery and a desire to make a positive impact.

We design and deliver inspiring spaces for people to live in urban environments.

Through creation of new build projects, adaptive re-use of existing buildings and airspace development, we use experience and expertise, combined with technological and digital innovation to turn complex architectural challenges into opportunities to build on.

We convert concept designs into deliverable projects, building efficiently and sustainably. We collaborate with project stakeholders and listen to all parties to produce contextual and elegant designs with a genuine positive impact on urban neighbourhoods.

Residential Architecture

We have in-depth knowledge of residential design standards, regulations and policies, enabling us to deliver desirable spaces on complex urban sites across the private, affordable and built to rent sectors.

Shared Living Architecture

We are proficient (and experienced) in efficient design and delivery of Co-living space, HMOs, Apart Hotels, Hotels and Hostels, with the experience to navigate regulations for you, especially in dense urban areas

Adaptive Reuse, Refurbishment and Change of Use

We have unparalleled experience in conversion and refurbishment of buildings, such as disused office space, into new homes, reducing development costs and delivering low carbon, sustainable buildings.

Airspace & Rooftop Developments

Many of our urban housing projects involve adding multiple extra storeys to existing buildings, providing an innovative solution to housing issues in urban areas. As members of ARAD we are assured to successfully guide you through this complex form of development.

Modern Methods of Construction

We have over a decade of experience in factory made and modular construction, covering a full spectrum of offsite systems. We have an understanding of when to apply them in practice and use Design for Manufacture principles at both building and component level.

Our Team

The MDLR Architects team gathers around a table, carefully examining architectural drawings and discussing design concepts and plans.

We are a diverse, like-minded team.

A collective of energised, insightful experts bringing a unique combination of disciplines and experience. Our knowledge and range of skills enable us to provide a truly holistic, pragmatic but innovative approach: never traditional or grey, but bright, colourful and creative.

Our studio is built on a collective, open culture, not always found in typical architectural practice. Conscious of the impact of our work; we believe in giving back. So, we combine our commercial and public sector projects with pro-bono and charity work.

We work collaboratively. We listen. We’re accountable. We care about the way our work affects cities, communities, the environment and each other.

It is a pleasure to work with the team at MDLR Architects. They are commercially-minded, innovative and engage constructively with other members of our planning and design teams. SAV Group has worked with MDLR Architects on a number of projects in the past and will have no hesitation in doing so in the future.

Deborah Smyth, Managing Director, Tempohousing Modular UK & Ireland

MDLR Architects have consistently provided me with innovative design options to maximise sites and their attention to detail on both planning and construction stage is impeccable. Looking forward to working with Lukasz, Jordan and the team on several more projects

Arjun Popat - Director, Lanesra Group

We have worked with MDLR Architects on a variety of residential and commercial projects over the past 5 years. Originally appointed by a project client, we have since nominated MDLR Architects on additional project to work on our behalf. Our main reason for the repeat business is the simplicity behind the relationship. Lukasz and his team work quickly and effectively to turn around details and designs. To top it off, and almost more importantly the team are genuinely a great bunch of people.

ACT is delighted to recommend MDLR Architects. Both Lukasz and his colleague Ahmed generously gave their time, energy, professional skill and flair in order to support our youth homelessness project [establish]. We thank them for enabling us to secure another affordable home for young Londoners. Hurrah!
