BA (Hons.) DipArch ARB
Markus studied architecture at Newcastle University, then at London Metropolitan University under tutors Alun Jones and Patrick Lynch. He joined the practice in 2014 and was made an Associate in 2020.
Markus is currently working on an ambitious renewal of the Warneford Hospital site in Oxford. The masterplan, which focuses on the site’s landscape and heritage, creates a mental health hospital, a research & innovation centre, and a new post-graduate college. He has focused on the design of a college for the University of Oxford, which combines the repurposing of 200-year-old Grade II listed buildings with new buildings, the latter led by Markus.
In 2018, Markus was part of the winning competition team for the Salisbury Square Development for the City of London. This comprised a flagship masterplan within the Fleet Street Conservation Area, including a new 18-room law court and headquarters building for City of London Police. Initially working across the full breadth of the masterplan, he later focused on the development of the fraud and cybercrime law court.
Markus contributed to the original 2015 planning application for 1 Undershaft — set to become the tallest building in the City of London — and later played a key role in the 2023 revised proposals, focusing on the public garden, enhanced public realm, and the building’s base.
Markus worked from conception to realisation of One Chamberlain Square, a seven-storey office building in the centre of Birmingham, as part of the Paradise masterplan for Argent. The project was completed in 2019 and is fully let to PwC as their regional headquarters.
He also worked on a research and development headquarters building in Singapore leading the design development of the building façade and landscaped accessible terraces. The project was completed in 2021.
Before joining Eric Parry Architects, Markus worked for other prestigious & award-winning architectural practices in London, focused on design excellence.
