We are a Durban-based architecture practice, that places personalization and professionalism at the heart of our work. Our Practice creates tailored buildings that are carefully considered, commercially efficient and designed to make every interaction meaningful to the people that encounter them.
Established in 2007, the Millennium Consortium Architects (MCA) portfolio spans across retail, commercial, industrial, medical, hospitality, as well as both high-end and affordable residential projects. While overseeing over 340 projects of varying scales, we continue to work in close collaboration with renowned brands, municipalities, property developers, and private clients throughout South Africa and abroad.
With a reputable name in the field of architecture since 1983, Tony Whitfield co-established the renowned and successful Practice of Ellens & Whitfield Architects. After its dissolution, MCA Architects saw the continuation of its reputation and project portfolio, with a refreshed brand of bold, expressionist architecture and an innate understanding of clients’ needs.
Since joining the Practice in 2009, Brad Tomlin has represented MCA Architects with proficiency and vigour, and later stepped up into a management role, following a compelling stint in Dubai. In 2024, Brad was promoted to Director of MCA Architects, and has since continued to lead the Practice’s vision firmly into the future through rational insights, collaboration and creativity that brings its architecture to life.
