Episode 51: Interview with Marc Appleton, of Appleton Partners LLP-Architects
One of the things that I have been doing during the pandemic opening up are reaching out to different architects and going to their offices to meet in person and
I have been visiting a lot of residential architects lately and I have my own projects so this is first in a series on #HousesHousing that I will be focusing on in the new year.
One of the first architects whose firm I worked at who primarily specialized in Houses is Marc Appleton. I worked for Marc in the early 90's. I would like to say that everything that I learned the right way is from that office. And it shows with the list of architects who have gone on to start their own firms or have become partners in other firms, I have interviewed and will be interviewing quite a few of them in the coming months.
