Mark is a UK Chartered Architect with over 30 years experience in Design, client management, and design-team management. The majority his large scale work has been in the Middle East where he worked with Atkins for 9 years based in Dubai and Oman, and with Saudi Diyar for 4.5 years based in Jeddah.
Mark’s hands-on approach to design and production management of large scale hospitality, commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects means that designs move successfully from the drawing board and get built. Mark finds it very satisfying to have clients return with repeat business and to see people using and enjoying these buildings, their internal spaces and the spaces in-between.
Mark is a keen sailor and holds a ICC Yacht-master Coastal certificate. Mark also loves kitesurfing, travelling, camping, skiing, breathing fresh air, fishing and snorkelling.
