About Martin
With the advancements of technology, we are moving at an unbelievably fast pace. Not only within our daily lives but most importantly with what we can bring onto the profession. Architecture has become very fluid when it comes to design, new technologies and in our daily practice. Technology has given us the opportunity to do things we would have never imagined. But the same has also forced us to adapt, evolve and re-invent ourselves constantly.
We in our practice have become more intertwined, at all levels; collaboration, communication and contribution are a must in order for our practice to thrive. The essence and evolution of our practice today has become highly personal. Our clients have become our partners in all aspects of our projects. We not only strive for excellence in design but for project overall efficiency, cost savings, user end-affordability and a structured and functional program. We take a very pragmatic approach to programming, that can be implemented at high levels of design and efficiency and still maintain its cost effectiveness throughout the entire project.“ We like to reach for the Holy Grail of Architecture in every project, no matter the size, scope or budget and deliver to our clients an award-winning project every time ” .
Martin is one of our founding partners at DCSP and has well over 32 years of project experience in a Multi-disciplinary practice of architecture. Having an in-depth experience in such different arenas, that combine a myriad of different typologie s, uses and programs gives us and advantage over most practices when it comes to project design, delivery and customer satisfaction.
