Information

MD/works, founded by Miles Dean in 2026, is a studio and workshop that designs structures, spaces and objects, and often builds them too. 

Working on small projects in London and beyond, MD/works focuses on maintaining a link between the design and delivery (the thinking and doing) of architecture. 

MD/works designs and builds projects end-to-end, or collaborates with others to produce outcomes that exceed the means available. Operating with respect for the many skills, materials and individuals that create structures, spaces and objects – where the plumbing behind the wall is just as valuable as the art that hangs on it – MD/works strives to champion these often overlooked assets. 

It’s run by Miles, who has kept a foot in both design and construction for the last 5 years since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2021 (MA Architecture) - working on bespoke construction jobs across London with John Perkins Projects, as well as his own builds of various scales. 

Active projects in 2026 include the renovation of a 19th-century schoolhouse in the Cotswolds, the design of a pair of houses in Catford, an ultra-low budget extension in Peckham, and ongoing custom furniture builds for businesses and individuals.
