About

Meet Carol and Ken

Originally from Argentina and Malaysia, Carol and Ken met at university in the USA, before settling in Sydney and establishing Marra + Yeh in 2005.

Studying at a top ten US university plus our international experience equip us not only with design skills but strategic thinking, building science, technical and construction knowledge, sustainability expertise as well as the ability to manage projects from start to finish. We bring this suite of skills and expertise to the advantage of every client.

Our diverse lived experiences and cultural backgrounds inform our approach to architecture, and how we engage with our clients and their communities.

Going beyond the architect’s traditional role, we address some of the most pressing challenges of our age, including sustainable homes and housing, climate change and design for Country.
