Since re-joining CGL in 2026, Marina has been working on Woolwich New Road, a mixed-use masterplan delivering 557 new homes, contributing to Stage 4 technical design and the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) application process.

During her previous time at the practice, she worked on a variety of commercial and residential projects in Covent Garden, including refurbishments, restaurant fit-outs and the adaptive reuse of listed buildings. Prior to this, she gained experience across the life sciences and residential sectors, developing expertise in the design of adaptable and innovative environments.

Marina completed her BA(Hons) Architecture and MArch with Distinction at the University of Westminster, where she also taught within the School of Architecture and Cities, fostering her interest in mentoring and architectural education.

Her MArch thesis, Evil Paradise, explored the relationship between environmental and political change in Cyprus through the lens of landscape, habitation and resilience. The project was nominated for a RIBA Regional Award, with a drawing from the thesis also shortlisted for Drawing of the Year.
