Hi there,
I am Marc Northstar. I’ve traveled across the globe to reach this point, and the journey never truly stops. Moving from place to place has allowed me to meet someone like you, encounter remarkable values, and gain perspectives I would have never discovered had I stayed still. Art and architecture have always been the core of my path, they continuously redefine themselves as I face new challenges. My admiration for artists and architects shaped me as I grew up; it’s how I met my wonderful wife, how I discovered cities and neighborhoods that taught me to evolve. Our built environments are always changing, and even when we try to pause, life keeps moving.
Caring about the spaces we use begins with understanding them. The information we gather shapes the path to construction. The incredible clients I’ve worked with have taught me that ideas come to life not only by listening to their concerns, but by understanding the spaces behind them. The art of being an architect is feeling the process, translating thoughts into form. Painting large canvases with a single brushstroke became my personal discipline, formed in the studio that became my school of life. There, I developed my own recipe for creating something unique. Turning lines into tangible structures only becomes possible through collaboration with engineers, consultants, and those who believe in the vision.
I hope this gives you a glimpse of who I am and what I do. I would be delighted to work with you on your next project, creating something that resonates with you and those around you.
