Marjorie combines rich design sensibility with grounded pragmatism in her role as Director and co-founder of KIN Architects. She wants to make architecture approachable, and – in the spirit of KIN’s ethos - foster a positive, family-like dynamic within every project. Raised in a family of small business owners, and having renovated her own house, she brings first-hand understanding of the practical and commercial realities of a project. Blended with her extensive professional experience, this positions her as an invaluable resource, an experienced sounding board and a strong advocate for clients throughout the entire process. Having grown up, studied and worked in Brisbane, Marjorie is fondly familiar with its character, and through her work she seeks to make sensitive and thoughtful enhancements to the language of its streetscapes. Time spent overseas – including working with the Venice Biennale construction team, aiding the Solomon Islands Tsunami recovery, and participating in the Mongol Rally – provided her with broad horizons and an enriched her approach to design (and life). She still loves to travel, and will grab any opportunity to be in nature, whether surfing, fishing or gardening.
