about
At Studio Mode, we’re happy to take on long-term consultancies—working in-house as part of your estates or development team. Equally, we love a one-off commission.
Abi on Mark
Mark is the steadily-going-blonde one who qualified as an architect in 1996. He achieved a First-Class Honours degree under the tutorship of Sir Colin Stansfield Smith and studied for his diploma at RMIT in Australia.
He’s worked in private practices, local authorities, and further education—and is now a sought-after project manager and designer. He’s lectured and sat on the judging panel of the King’s Fund’s Enhancing the Healing Environment programme.
Mentally agile and naturally humorous, he’s great with complex projects and can’t seem to speak without sketching. Mark has a real knack for engaging people and leading a team. In his ‘spare’ time, he’s a devoted family man, enthusiastic runner, sociable spirit, music lover, and home-spun DJ. He brings warmth, rhythm, and creativity to all aspects of life.
Mark on Abi
Abi’s the blonde one with a degree in 3D Design from the esteemed Brighton School of Design (2000). With over 20 years’ experience in design and artwork commissioning, she knows how to deliver. Proactive, driven, approachable, and fun. Creative and sassy—she gets the job done. A natural designer with a sharp eye for detail.
She’s run an award-winning live arts programme for patients within a major teaching hospital and has travelled widely, exploring art and culture in Australia and Japan (to name just two). In her ‘spare’ time, she’s a busy mum, usually knee-deep in some sort of home renovation. She’s a pleasure to work alongside—living and breathing her projects, always with her trademark, uniquely Abi-esque finesse.
our approach
We pride ourselves on long-standing relationships, built on trust and a proven track record of delivering real results.
Our role is to act as the catalyst between client, professional team, contractor, and artisan—to ensure every aspect of your project is handled with care, creativity, and attention.
Clients commission us because they trust us to handle complex or unusual tasks with sound judgement—wrapped in an empathetic, colourful, and creative approach.
The destination must always be fabulous.
But the journey? That has to be fun.
