The path behind Marc's work.
Marc Turnier is the founder and managing director of Arcvelop, a London-based architecture practice and development company. A qualified architect, he combines design with hands-on development experience, an unusual pairing that sits at the heart of how Arcvelop works.
Marc studied architecture at Newcastle University and completed a master's at the University of Sydney, where he was nominated for a President's Medal. He went on to work at Foster + Partners and Allies and Morrison on large-scale projects, before moving into development with smaller property companies across London to learn the commercial and construction side of the industry.
