Through LEAP, the lovingly engineered architectural practice, Mark provides reliable, affordable services. We offer training, consultancy and design services that help you build a better future.
What we do
We always
design for your needs
From bespoke homes to larger communities, LEAP helps you create a Forever Home Lifestyle that suits your needs. As your architect we will ask profound and insightful questions that help you make the right choices.
We oversee all of the transactional details
As your project manager we oversee all of the transactional details on your behalf, because every building project has thousands of phone calls and communications. Each one loaded with critical details vital to your projects success.
We are your best advocate
Money and quality are very emotional issues. At LEAP we treat your money and your design, like it's our own. When it's time, we negotiate on your belhalf, defend your interests, protect your project, and save you money.
We are your Passivhaus Consultant
We use an evidence based quality assurance framework. This means, even though your project may not be certified, we treat your project like it's a Passivhaus - because that's the only way you'll get the quality you expect.
why we do it
We’ve been there
It's always a joy to work with friendly, ethical clients and them help them achieve their goals. And we're fortunate enough to do this on every project.
For almost 30 years we've been learning about the building industry, construction, architecture and the built environment. It's not always been a smooth journey - but it has been a process of continual refinement.
Having worked in a range of sectors, on new buildings and old across a range in value (from £30m to £300,000) we've seen many levels of complexity and complication - and always sought to introduce clarity and simplicity.
We bring innovation
Don't be fooled by smooth words and glossy pictures. Innovation is not bells and whilstes. It is not whacky and different - and costly. It is thoughful, considered and effective.
Our clients appreciate an informed experimental approach. As a research led practice this means any innovation LEAP introduces is a strategic byproduct, and a logical extension, of the high quality work we do for every client.

There’s nothing at all that we’d change about the house because we got exactly what we wanted. ...Now we’re finally living in a cosy home, we’re not going anywhere!
