LEEP is led by Marcus Lee and prides itself on a collaborative approach. The practice works with a number of talented young architects and across a range of disciplines, from the civic to the ecological and is currently embracing a series of projects from an eco resort and rewilding programme in Portugal’s Alentejo region to a rural house using locally sourced building materials on the Isle of Mull, Scotland.
Marcus is highly regarded within the industry for his master-planning, aviation, innovative houses and a diverse range of award-winning projects. The practice has built up a portfolio of private homes on challenging sites bringing extraordinary schemes to light.
Framehouse, built on a rear garden back lane plot in Hackney, East London was featured on Grand Designs and won a RIBA award for architectural excellence.
