My name is Stefan Marko. I am an Architectural Designer and Building Envelope Specialist with a strong background in Building Science.

I graduated from the University of Waterloo in Architectural Engineering and have spent years in the industry as a Building Envelope Consultant. My work focuses on the technical detailing of homes to ensure they don't just look good, but achieve high-performance outcomes: prioritizing energy efficiency, durability, and comfort.

This engineering mindset drives the philosophy at Marko Design Studio. While we are passionate about design, our philosophy is defined by our three core pillars:

01. Reducing Risk: By anticipating technical challenges early, we protect your project from costly delays and surprise change orders. We bridge the gap between design and construction with precise detailing that leaves no room for ambiguity. This approach prevents on-site shortcuts and ensures the building is constructed exactly as intended to achieve high-performance standards.

02. Managing Your Budget: We are committed to managing your budget honestly. By understanding the engineering and construction implications of a design from day one, we can design strictly within your means without sacrificing quality.

03. Achieving the Desired Outcome: Above all, we are driven by delivering the space you actually want. By combining technical understanding with architectural vision, we ensure the home you step into at the end of the project is the one you dreamed of at the start.
