Mark Allan

  • Director
  • Bachelor of Architecture (Honours)

A respected and passionate architect, Mark has experience across all sectors with a particular focus on masterplanning and urban design.

Mark leads VIA’s architecture and interiors teams and encourages the teams to embrace difference, to think about the bigger picture and to design with intent and purpose.

As well as strong leadership and a strategic mind, Mark’s design eye is second to none. His body of work firmly cements his key strengths around conceptual design and thoughtful details.

Mark’s multi-sector clients benefit from uncompromising commitment to an ideas culture at VIA.  He engages them in collaborative thinking from start to finish of a project and embodies the VIA spirit of challenging norms and encouraging resolved creative solutions.

Always striving to go above and beyond expectations, Mark will interrogate convention and deliver a vision.

True to his design ethos of breaking with tradition, Mark is something of a tea connoisseur and would rather a Rooibos than a Ristretto every day of the week.
