Architecture
shaped by context,
clarity and care.

Our purpose

Great architecture
is never made alone

Founded in 2012 by Mark Aronson, maarch* is a studio built around the belief that great architecture is never made alone.

We bring together design rigour, deep local knowledge, and genuine client partnership to create spaces that last — for people, for cities, and for the future.

Mark Aronson

Founder & Principal Director

Mark Aronson is the Founder and Principal Director of maarch*. He started the practice in 2012 with a clear premise: if a building is worth doing, it is worth doing properly.

Before Perth, Mark trained in the UK and Spain, working with Andrés Perea in Madrid and with studios including Aukett Associates and Farrells in London. That background shaped a design sensibility defined by proportion, restraint and spatial intelligence.

Today he leads a studio that operates at the intersection of design ambition and commercial logic. Multi-residential, aged care, urban infill, often in environments others find too complex. Mark is directly involved at every stage, not as an overseer but as a genuine collaborator.

He is not interested in architecture as decoration. He is interested in architecture as a long-term act — for clients, for communities, and for the city.
