Marc Newman is an architect/urban designer with over 15 years of professional and academic training in both architecture and the environmental sciences. Through his work on a variety of national and international projects, ranging from traditional town planning to urban infill and redevelopment projects to sustainable communities and mixed-use resorts, Marc brings a necessary skill set, critical perspective and range of experience to any community visioning exercise. He is integrally involved in all phases of a project from initial conceptual planning and detailed master planning through the development of architectural guidelines and entitlements through conceptual architectural design for vertical construction.
Marc takes pride in designing functional and dynamic places that reflect the character, history, and context of a given site, while enhancing the human connection to the natural features of the land. Through his understanding of the underlying scientific principles and the more progressive site development practices, Marc has become an expert in sustainable community planning and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques. As an architect, Marc brings an understanding of traditional building practices and vernacular design as a basis for creating alternative and progressive buildings to meet ever-changing aesthetic demands.
Marc’s passion is finding ways for appropriate architecture, good urban planning, and sound environmental practice to complement one another in the design of new projects as well as in the remaking of our existing cities and towns. As part of the design team, Marc is instrumental in assessing and conceptualizing the experiential aspects of any given project, seamlessly integrating these concepts into the overall development program.
