Capability
At Moull Murray, we aspire for excellence in all aspects of the design process to deliver buildings of quality. We believe that good design is our principal capability. Both senior partners each have over 30 years of experience designing a wide range of building typologies. This experience is applied in assisting clients to formulate intelligent design briefs which develops into building design solutions that are appropriate and efficient, yet contain exciting opportunities for architectural expression of the clients’ identity and the buildings function.
How We Work
Both Ken and Andrew maintain a direct involvement with their projects through each stage of design and delivery. This close involvement ensures a high level of service to our clients at all times with close attention to detail.

Resources.
Moull Murray are leading architects in the use of BIM software. We constantly upgrade to the latest versions to allow our projects to benefit from the latest technologies. This enables construction documentation to be generated directly from our 3D CAD design models with greater accuracy in the co- ordination of structure and services as well as giving the client the opportunity to examine circulation flows and interior spaces with interactive walk through models from an early stage in the design process.
The Moull Murray office is equipped with the latest Apple iMacs, iPads and software. All of our staff are trained in the use of Archicad, Artlantis, relevant Adobe and Microsoft software packages.
Environment.
Our fundamental approach to designing environmentally sustainable buildings is to strive for naturally ventilated environments with integrated architectural shading mechanisms which add further layers of interest and detail to the exterior of the building, together with passive methods such as generous insulation, exposed thermal mass, good orientation. Our buildings are rigorously detailed.
This simple approach, in keeping with the tradition of fine modern architecture, has been extended with the deployment of the latest technological advancements in energy saving devices such as light fittings activated by motion detectors, solar PV panels, using renewable plantation timber and low voc paints. Thermally comfortable conditions are expected within our buildings all year round by optimising the building form with protected internal court spaces, orientation and detail design.
