Congratulations to Marcus Pethica on his promotion to Project Director and Interior Design Lead

Marcus brings a thoughtful balance of creativity and technical precision to his work, with a clear focus on designing interiors that elevate how spaces are experienced and used. Supported by a strong team and with several notable interior projects already underway, Marcus is well placed to make a meaningful impact in his new role.

Which project has most shaped your approach to interior design at Barr Gazetas?

“There are too many to choose just one, each project has its own moments of joy, whether that’s trying something pioneering, introducing a new-to-market specification, or overcoming a technical challenge.

We don’t have a ‘house style’ for interiors. Instead, we tailor each design narrative to be truly bespoke, responding to context, site history, and the aspirations of both client and occupier, creating spaces that feel authentic and are built to last.”

How do you hope to shape the future of interior design at Barr Gazetas?

“My ambition is to design spaces that are both progressive and sustainable, aligning closely with the ethos at Barr Gazetas.

The interiors Barr Gazetas is delivering today, not just those of the future, are defined by creativity, rigour and a clear understanding of how to add value at every stage of a project.

High-quality, experience-led spaces don’t just happen. My role is to help ensure each project has the strong narrative, material palette, detailing and overall aesthetic it deserves!”
