About Me

Architecture is always a conversation with time, material, and light.

I trained in Europe, worked across three continents, and now I’m based wherever the project needs me. Every commission begins with the site itself — its geology, its weather, the way people move through it. The building comes from listening.


Philosophy

I design spaces that feel inevitable — as though they were always meant to be there. Sustainability is not a feature; it is the foundation of everything I build.

Recognition

Shortlisted for the European Prize for Architecture (2023). Published in Dezeen, Wallpaper*, and Architectural Review.

“Marina turns constraints into features. She found a way to make the limitation the most beautiful thing about the building.”
