Mark Sidgwick Dip Arch BSc RIBA ARIAS
Partner
Mark Sidgwick joined LDN Architects, after winning a first class honours degree at Aberdeen, for his intermediate practical training year which he spent in the Forres office. After completing his Diploma in Architecture in Aberdeen he returned to work in the Edinburgh office. Mark was awarded the Harbourne McLennan prize for his Part 3 professional examination in 1989. In January 1996 he accepted the post of Associate with the Practice and in January 1999 became a partner.
Marks general experience includes work on feasibility studies for the redevelopment of the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, and The Astoria, Brighton, a masterplan for a mixed use development centred around a new parkland and a number of competitions including the design of an international school whilst working in Germany with the Wiesbaden office.
Mark was a key member of the team for the award winning Edinburgh Festival Theatre with specific responsibility for developing the front of house design. Firstly as an Associate and then Partner, he was involved in the competition winning design for the redevelopment of the Hippodrome Theatre in Birmingham and the extension of Pitlochry Festival Theatre. He was partner in charge of the recently completed Liverpool Museum and Walker Art Gallery for the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside.
The Hippodrome includes dance studio’s, dressing rooms, hospitality spaces and a dance injury centre designed around an atrium space which offers natural ventilation wherever it is practical. At Pitlochry a single storey naturally ventilated glazed pavilion creates space for a restaurant in conjunction with the upgrading of the front of house foyer and auditorium areas.
Recently Mark has been responsible for the delivery of the new courtyard development for St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church. The building aims to be energy efficient. It is south facing, makes maximum use of daylight and is largely naturally ventilated.
Mark also has experience in residential projects ranging from a substantial shooting lodge in the Scottish Highlands to a number of farm steading conversions. The latter combine both contemporary and original elements whilst respecting and maintaining their essential character and setting. He is currently developing the design of a new low energy house for a private client.
