1 31 Newnham Road

This mixed-use development replaces the previous building, enhancing the street frontage and public realm around Newnham Mill. With ground floor commercial spaces and upper floor apartments offering great views, the project is energy-efficient, well-designed, and positively impacts the character and distinctiveness of the local area.

MCW have created a building for us that is really loved locally, it’s an amazing addition to the community and everyone is proud of it.”

2 Swiss Laundry

Swiss Laundry - a Cambridge landmark - has been sustainably transformed into 50,000 sq ft of high-spec business spaces. Working as Executive Architect for Phase 2, we retrofitted the existing red-brick structure, reducing embodied carbon while fusing heritage with contemporary new buildings and materials, developing PiP Architect’s Concept Design. This development emphasises sustainability, energy efficiency, and innovation in the heart of the city.

With a focus on low carbon and renewable materials, this research and development building at Cambridge Science Park, features an impressive Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure. At nearly 70,000sqft, it is one of the UK's largest mass timber commercial building designs.

120-126

This new development completes the 127-136 composition, defining a welcoming arrival for pedestrians and cyclists at Cambridge Science Park. It's a low-carbon, adaptable building with a distinctive facade and urban space. A sustainable exemplar, it features renewable tech, increased biodiversity, and improved connectivity, enhancing the park's network of spaces and accessibility.

4 Shepreth

The Shepreth R&D Campus transforms a light-industrial site into a sustainable research hub by creatively reusing existing buildings and integrating new ones. This project will deliver high-quality workspaces, promote sustainability, enhance community ties, and support well-being and biodiversity, all while maximising return on investment and market readiness.

5 Sawston Tannery

This special place – a disused Victorian tannery that retains a collection of distinctive heritage buildings has presented our team with a series of challenges. We’re working diligently to decontaminate and reenergize, to produce high-quality research spaces, integrating heritage assets, fostering community ties, promoting sustainable travel, encouraging collaboration, and delivering a strong return on investment.
