Welcome to Mark Stephens Architects You’re not just looking for an architect—you’re searching for someone who can unlock the full potential of your space, elevate your vision, and make the complex feel effortless.
That’s exactly what we do. We specialise exclusively in design and planning—because that’s where the real magic happens. With a sharp eye for heritage, a flair for modern design, and deep expertise in navigating planning systems, we help clients bring ambitious ideas to life. From one-of-a-kind homes to sensitive restorations, I guide every project from concept to planning approval with precision and confidence. My clients don’t settle—and neither do I. We work with a select few each year to deliver clarity, creativity, and results. I don’t build—I design smarter, plan better, and leave you fully prepared to move forward. Whether you’re reimagining a period property or planning a bold new home, I offer architectural insight that’s strategic, stylish, and entirely yours. People come to me because they want vision and certainty. And they stay in touch because they got more than they expected. If you’re ready to get it right from the start, book your consultation today. Time is limited—exclusivity is part of the experience.
