Peter Dybwad grew up as the son of a bookseller in the Norwegian capital; the lawyer and writer Vilhelm Dybwad (1863–1950) was his younger brother. From 1878 to 1882 Peter Dybwad studied at the Berlin Building Academy . In 1884 he worked as a volunteer in the construction of the military academy designed by Franz Schwechten (1841-1924) in Berlin. In 1885 he and his college friend Ludwig Hoffmann (1852–1932) won first prize in the competition for the construction of the Imperial Court in Leipzig with their design "Severus" . According to contemporary representations, the idea for the design came about on a trip to Italy by the two friends in a Munich inn. This draft then served as the basis for further planning. Until the completion of this building in 1895, Dybwad was involved in the construction as Hoffmann's employee. From 1897 to 1920 he also acted as a technical adviser on construction issues.

After the construction of the Imperial Court was completed, Dybwad settled as a freelance architect in Leipzig. He built numerous residential and commercial buildings, mansions and villas . In the music district he is assigned 12 residential buildings, including 10 villa buildings. The largest number of them were in Karl-Tauchnitz-Strasse and Ferdinand-Rhode-Strasse. Since 1902 Dybwad has lived in the Villa Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße 32, which he designed himself . Most of his buildings here fell victim to the air raids on the district between 1943 and 1945. His buildings, which can be assigned to historicism , were characterized by a restrained modernity and followed suit the choice of mainly traditional style elements very well in the urban situation of Leipzig.

His grave was in the Neues Johannisfriedhof until the mid-1970s . It was probably leveled during the conversion of the cemetery into a peace park into an amusement park.
