"He listens to his clients and then works his magic — identifying what is important, and injecting something special."

Mark's calm nature puts you at ease from the first conversation. His concern for getting the design right is at the heart of what makes him a genuinely great architect — not just technically, but humanly.

He cares about creating special places that people love to be in. Not statement architecture for its own sake — homes that quietly work, that catch the light well, that feel like they belong exactly where they are.

How We Work Together
03
01

Feasibility Study

Three focused sessions to clarify your design goals and get a realistic cost estimate. Most clients find this invaluable — whether they renovate or buy elsewhere. A small investment before a large one.

02

Permits & Plans

Full architectural documentation to obtain council permits and allow builders to quote and build. Can take 4 months to a year depending on design scope and council requirements.

03

Project Management

Mark can oversee your builder and manage on-site communication, ensuring the build follows the architectural documents carefully — so you don't have to.
