RIBA Chartered + ARB Registered Architecture practice Influenced by the principles of Dutch design 🧡

MOOi is a RIBA Chartered Architecture practice based in Cambridge (UK) influenced by the principles and approach of Dutch design. Our name "mooi" [pronounced - moy] is the Dutch word for beautiful, amazing, wonderful...which is the feedback we strive for, with each and every project we undertake. The practice has a reputation for contemporary, sustainable design with extensive experience working o

n projects across a range of market sectors, including projects for The University of Cambridge and its Colleges, private residential new build and redesign commissions, multiple residency development projects and commercial offices. MOOi pride ourselves on being a practice able to respond intelligently to the needs of our clients and as such our design process is unique to each project we complete. Our studio is a creative work environment and our aim is to couple contemporary, innovative and elegant design with the project aspirations, budgets and time frames our clients have in mind. We have a genuine understanding of building methods and construction and this is reflected in our designs which incorporate sustainable materials and have an emphasis on clever and practical design and use solutions. Our design process always starts with meeting our clients face to face, listening to them and creating a well-developed understanding of their needs before producing considered and clear design solutions which bring their ideas to life.

On Site | A sunny site visit at our central Cambridge project last week! ☀️🏗️

The glazing is now installed and is perfectly complemented by the Ashington Red Multi brickwork by Wienerberger. The texture from its grey tones and indented detailing looks absolutely fantastic 🧡

We’re so excited to share more progress on this project! ⭐️

On Site | The finishing touches are falling into place at our latest project in the De Freville Conservation Area in 🧡

As part of a wider update to this property we incorporated a newly converted loft space with rear facing dormer, featuring exposed ceiling rafters to add a sense of height and articulation to the room.

The real showstopper… the feature freestanding slipper bath positioned perfectly with a garden view 🌳

Our creative design process is all about collaborating with our clients, to bring their dream projects to life and create considered, contemporary spaces which fit both their current and future needs …

Completed Project | Our recently completed renovation and extension of a beautiful Victorian terrace in the Riverside Conservation Area, 🧡

The brief was to create a spacious family kitchen + dining area. To do this, we designed a striking side and rear extension with a distinctive asymmetric roof. Not only does this unique shape maximise the southern sun for our solar panels, but the rear projection also provides natural shade to keep the space cool + extends the living area right out onto the raised terrace.

Externally, the modern addition gets its own distinct identity with gorgeous brown and cladding, perfectly framed by expansive glazing.

Step inside and it’s all about that stunning Knighton Blue kitchen by . The natural accents complement the new extension perfectly! 💙

We also future-proofed this home with a host of tech, including an airsourceheatpump, solarpanels, and home battery storage to help reduce energy costs.

Design Proposals | We’re deep in the creative process for this 1930’s central home!

This proposal features a ground-floor extension + contemporary loft dormer. We’re particularly excited about the dark blue Zinc cladding—a bold, moody choice that adds instant character 💙 We’ve also integrated solar shading with projecting shrouds to keep the South-facing rooms cool in the summer + an eco-focus with external wall insulation to all existing walls + solar panel array on the dormer roof⚡
