Mark Wakelin

Job Titles:
  • Member of the Tangent Space Team
  • Lead Architectural Designer
Mark's experience spans many aspects of architecture. After studying Architectural Technology at the University of Brighton, he started out working on listed buildings and church renovations, amassing knowledge of sympathetic and effective ways to futureproof our oldest buildings. He then focused on residential and commercial projects, seeing both ends of the design and specification spectrum, before setting up Tangent Space. As his personal interest in sustainability increased, it didn't take long for this to spill over into his architectural life. Now, low impact is at the heart of every Tangent Space project and Mark is constantly on the path to learning new ways of incorporating sustainability. Passivhaus construction is one of Mark's passions and he is delighted it is finally enjoying its deserved recognition in the construction and architectural industry. Mark is your main point of contact at Tangent Space. He meets with all new clients from the initial enquiry and remains in control of the project through to its completion and sign off.

Oscar Wakelin

Job Titles:
  • Member of the Tangent Space Team
  • Apprentice Technician
Oscar is the technology whizz at Tangent Space. Since studying for his HNC at London Southbank University in 2020, he has been working with Mark and Tangent Space. He has added an essential addition to the Tangent Space skills arsenal with his continuously developing 3D modelling skills. These give clients an insight into how their finished project could look, from the internal spaces to the full house as well as garden before and afters. This has proved popular with clients as it allows them to see their new home come to life and lets them visualise themselves in that space. Oscar supports Mark through all the key stages of every project.
