MWP Architects

Cooper Messaris Louw Architects was started in Gauteng in 1983 and was later changed in 1989 to Messaris Wapenaar Architects. Subsequently in 1997, a Cape Town office under the leadership of Michael Philippides was opened and MWP Architects was born. Arthur Messaris and Andre Wapenaar continue to run the Gauteng office with Michael Philippides running the Cape Town office.
The partners collectively have extensive architectural experience throughout the
African continent and Europe, and are currently engaged in various projects on both
continents. The firm has also formed associations with architectural practices in
Australia and Greece, in order to further serve their clients’ needs.
