The firm was founded in 1989 by husband and wife team, Julia
Barfield and David Marks. The couple met in 1972 when Marks moved to London after
winning a place at the Architectural Association. When they first
met the couple spent some time working
on community-focused projects in South America, and it wasn’t until 1981 that
the couple got married, then in 1989 established their firm. The
practice is internationally known for innovation and is the award-winning team
behind the creation of the London Eye.
“Marks Barfield Architects are committed to designing great
buildings for our clients. We believe that good design transforms the quality
of the environment and aim to provide an architecture that is fresh,
sustainable, an imaginative response to context and a pleasure to experience.
Our approach is not about style, but about analyzing, understanding and responding
to the brief and the site in a way that leads to unique, often unexpected
solutions.”
