MAUD Architecture & Urban Design

What MAUD Architecture & Urban Design does

MAUD Architecture & Urban Design is an international architecture practice founded in London, with its Asian headquarters established in Taipei in 2014. The firm delivers comprehensive architectural services across masterplanning, residential, commercial/office and mixed-use, hospitality, educational, cultural, and industrial sectors, using a 3D-modeling-driven design approach built on Rhino, AutoCAD, and 3ds Max as the foundation for every project. Its service portfolio is unified under one practice brand and supplemented by three in-house sub-brands — Mxm Architecture CGI (visualization), LOMA Interiors (interior design), and IOR Studio (cross-disciplinary studio work) — allowing integrated delivery of architecture, interior, CGI, and branding as a single package.

The firm serves enterprise clients primarily in the property developer, hotel owner, industrial/manufacturing, and government/educational segments, with named commissions including the multi-decade Gloria Prince Hotel Taipei mixed-use redevelopment, Malaysian residential developments (Senyum Residences, Bandar Cemerlang, Golden Oasis, Gaia Living, The Forest of Luminescence Residence), and industrial projects such as NCIP Warehouse and Panoramic Industrial Park. Revenue is generated through project-based professional design fees on commissions secured via direct client engagement, with the firm pursuing developer, hotel owner, and institutional opportunities across its Taipei HQ, Taichung, Johor Bahru, and London offices.

The firm operates as a private, founder-led practice with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listing. It maintains a 50+-strong multidisciplinary team across Taiwan, Malaysia, and the UK and supports its commercial positioning through a thought-leadership blog (Brief Talk / 思懿淺談) covering architectural philosophy, urban futures, and adaptive reuse. No revenue figure, pricing, or external financial information is publicly disclosed.
