Marine Leblond
Architect
Marine brings to the team technical knowledge and curiosity, and a keen sensitivity to natural materials and timeless design. Her approach is rooted in context — the history of a building, the natural or urban landscape around it, and the vernacular traditions that shaped it.
That same sensibility informs her broader practice: finding the right tool for the job, and letting the constraints of a project become its greatest asset.
Marine is deeply committed to sustainable architecture and design that treads lightly on the world, and spends much of her spare time enjoying Cape Town’s mountains or out at sea.
