About

M.A.R.S (Marcellino Sain Architects Pty Ltd) is a Sydney-based architecture & interior firm. M.A.R.S adopts a holistic approach to the process of design and development. A close and fruitful collaboration with clients, a rigorous design process, and a tailored delivery guarantees that each project successfully responds to the requirements of the brief.

At the core of the practice is an emphasis on creativity in design and diligence in process. Our diverse range of projects demonstrates an ability to adapt to client needs and to develop a working dialogue that informs the design process. Creativity is the lifeblood of the practice: M.A.R.S seeks to develop unique and innovative designs that draw inspiration from the processes of nature, as well as from contemporary urban life.

This creative design process is at the centre of everything we do at M.A.R.S. We consistently seek to push the boundaries of what defines architecture and explore new ways of marrying form to function. Our past experience has demonstrated that innovative, yet timeless designs can be delivered within budgetary and time constraints.

Testimonials

Marcellino was helpful, professional and calm at every turn, helping to keep the build on track and offer thoughtful design advice. His plans were innovative and practical and he always made the time to talk ideas through. Overall I highly recommend his work. He is a pleasure to work with. I would trust him to do an excellent job with my next design & build.

Marcellino designed the renovation to our Frenchs Forest house. He conducted himself in a very professional, courteous manner. His ideas were well thought out considering the budget constraints to our project. He was also very patient with us, which was appreciated.

We highly recommend Marcellino.

I strongly recommend M.A.R.S Architects. I have worked with Marcellino and his team on an international project for a bakery chain. Marcellino has a great eye for details and his designs are really outstanding. Overall a very reliable team!

Mars is a friendly and good listener. I think that is a very important attribute in an architect so our thoughts can be heard and possibly achieved. Unlike some others they might try to sell you some of the fancy ideas that may not be feasible and suitable. However, by saying that, it doesn't mean Mars doesn't offer good design and ideas. He in fact collaborated what we said, especially what our culture cares and his sense of design trend and gave us something unique.

Due to my job background I can't be away from work for meetings. Mars came to me instead. We had regular meetings, either at my workplace or on the job site. We attended the council meeting together if we needed to figure something. All of these were not charged additionally. Because his works were well prepared, our application was approved in three months time. That's three months faster than my previous project. Therefore, with his reasonable fees, Mars is willing to do extra. He's not the one that keeps counting the minutes spent on the job. You will feel comfortable and sure while working with him. If you are looking for an architect that is sensible, responsible and attentive, you shouldn't miss Mars.
