practice profile
Our working methods allow fresh and interesting ideas to be explored. The aim being to increase efficiency and function without adding cost.
As a practice MLDE have carried out work on a diverse range of projects spanning the spectrum of design as an over-arching discipline. Examples range from building design through product design and development to sculptures and art installations.

MLDE is a design engineering practice specialising in innovation, creativity and sustainability
The team are encouraged to employ 'the art of review', to provide an interpretation of the client's and design team's wishes which is both objective and critical. Intrinsically assessing what is beyond the mere surface requirements of the brief, and thus creating greater opportunity for expression. The successful use of materials such as rammed earth and structural glass have reinforced our belief that constraints on the use of materials ought to be drawn from sound design and engineering principals as opposed to pure convention.
MLDE pride themselves on an approach which is considered and appropriate in all fields of engineering and design. This has been built up over many years experience working with other industry professionals and drawing on a respect for traditional methods, paired with a sound knowledge of modern materials and different construction and manufacturing techniques.
The practice was founded by Mark Lovell with his wife Sandra, in 1996 and has produced, on average, in excess of one hundred commissions per year. The engineering solutions produced are continuing to win acclaim and awards. The design engineering work is producing patents and new products especially in the field of composites and sustainable technologies.
