Mac is a London-based architectural designer and interior design specialist with over 20 years of experience working across some of the capital’s most distinguished residential and commercial properties. Working alongside a trusted network of structural engineers, specialist builders and project managers, Mac delivers every project with the full technical resource of an experienced professional team — while maintaining the personal attention and design leadership that defines ZEP Architecture. Educated at the University of Greenwich, where he studied Art and Architecture, Mac developed a deep appreciation for the relationship between built form, history and human experience — a foundation that continues to define his approach to every project he undertakes. His work spans the period townhouses of Kensington, Chelsea, Putney the grand Victorian villas of Hampstead and Notting Hill, and contemporary residences from the Alpine resort of Megève to Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. This breadth of international experience, combined with an intimate understanding of London’s Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian heritage, gives ZEP Architecture a rare perspective — globally informed, locally precise.
Meet Mac
Architectural Designer. Interior Specialist. Period Home Expert.
PHILOSOPHY
The Approach
Mac’s approach is rooted in deep respect for a building’s original character.
Every period home has a story — in its proportions, its materials, its
craftsmanship — and Mac reads that story carefully before putting pen to paper.
Working closely with each client, he preserves what is beautiful, enhances
how the home functions, and unlocks its full potential. The result is spaces
that feel both timeless and perfectly suited to contemporary living —
classical proportions and modern design working together rather than in
conflict.
Every project at ZEP Architecture is led personally by Mac, from the first conversation through to final handover. Clients speak directly to the designer at every stage — not a project manager or junior assistant.
