About the practice

Powell Dobson is an independent architectural practice with offices in London, Cardiff and Swansea dedicated to the design and delivery of outstanding buildings. We aim to design buildings that are an inspiration to their users, provide a strong identity whilst responding to their context and that fully embrace our commitment to sustainable design. Our approach to sustainability is embedded in our design process and we have developed senior staff with specialist skills related to environmental design, low carbon technologies and the wider sustainable agenda. We have two qualified Passivhaus designers in-house and have recently completed our first certified Passivhaus homes for Curo on their flagship development at Mulberry Park, Bath. Our approach to creating sustainable communities over the last 10 years is beginning to evidence itself through some of our recently completing residential developments. The Mill, Cardiff showcases our focus on placemaking through high quality public realm, legibility and street hierarchy. Alongside our design ambitions we recognise that we must also be one of the best places to work in terms of staff satisfaction and well-being. Our staff are our greatest asset and we continue to work hard to ensure the environment and opportunities we create offer the best for their well-being and enrichment.
