Mark is committed to great design and loves his work. Mark gives projects momentum with his energy and innovation. He values the long-term collaborations built up over 25 years of working with leading architects and clients on challenging award winning schemes. He cherishes projects where he can make a significant contribution to creating successful buildings.
Thoughtful, responsible, creative design with highly practical, buildable solutions are always at the forefront of his work.
Working on new buildings and re-imagining existing sites in all sectors and materials, Mark applies the true principles of sustainability; long-life, loose-fit and doing more with less, focused on the benefits good design can bring over many years. He particularly enjoys opportunities to contribute to quality architecture.
Mark promotes an approach of ‘Total Engineering’ wherever possible with all responsibility from the existing building through to the finished structure encompassing all temporary and permanent works in between.
Mark is happiest sketching through designs with the team and walking and photographing sites, which allows him to remain intimate with the project from concept through to completion. He enjoys the detail and the process.
Mark co-founded Heyne Tillett Steel in 2007 and has helped to build a practice with a culture of excellence and constant learning. Prior to this Mark worked at design offices in London and Sydney.
