Architect, B.Arch, M.Phil

Originally from Lima, Peru, Martin began his architectural journey at the National University of Engineering. He later moved to Australia to complete a Master of Philosophy by Design at the University of Queensland, where his research focused on the complex relationship between inner-city slums and heritage buildings in Lima. This early work reflects his commitment to addressing real-world challenges through thoughtful, socially engaged design.

Since relocating to Queensland, Martin has contributed to a number of award-winning projects, including Cremorne, The House at Lizard Island, and the revitalisation of the historic Lamb House. He has also developed a strong portfolio of educational projects across Far North Queensland, working closely with communities to deliver learning environments that are culturally sensitive, climate-responsive, and tailored to local needs.

Martin’s work in regional and remote areas reflects his deep understanding of place-based design and his passion for creating architecture that supports equity, education, and community well-being. His expertise also extends to heritage revitalisation, with a focus on preserving character while enhancing functionality and relevance for contemporary use.
