Marzouk Al-Bader

Founder /
Creative Designer

Having harboured a lifelong fascination with architectural and interior design, in 2013 Marzouk set out to develop his own striking new build, to serve as a tranquil coastal retreat for him and his family. The result was the RIBA award-winning Sand Dunes, situated on the Cornish beach of Mawgan Porth. Inspired by its grand success and his continuing captivation with the locality and its abundant charms, Marzouk left his 25-year long career in investments to begin an innovative new venture, focussed on offering others the opportunity for more thoughtfully designed homes around the south-west. Marzouk’s vision was to build a design agency with a reflection of his deeply held passions for contemporary design, the local landscape and the simple pleasures of coastal life.

Adam Casey

Founder /
RIBA Registered Architect

Since graduating with a masters degree from Bartlett School of Architecture at the University College London Adam has pursued a career focussed on designing high-end private residential properties. After many years at an award-winning London practice, he co-founded Watershedd with a view to exploring the opportunities offered by projects outside the narrow scope of the urban landscape. Since the company’s inception, he’s relished the challenges presented by a diverse range of sites and particularly enjoyed working closely with clients minded to create bold architectural homes.

Poppy Trevillion

Founder /
RIBA Registered Architect

Poppy graduated with a masters degree at the University of Westminster and joined her family’s esteemed London architectural practice soon after. There, she worked for several years developing state of the art commercial spaces with carefully curated interiors. In cofounding Watershedd, she was excited by the prospect of creating an entirely new practice with its own set of values and aspirations, as well as the opportunity to take an active role in developing impressive homes on her native soil. Her previous experience working on large scale and fast-paced projects has helped Watershedd develop the high level of service that sets it apart, while her discerning eye has driven its artful approach to interior design.

Having joined Watershedd in 2019 with a Masters in Engineering and Architecture, Max completed his full architectural training at Westminster University and took his place among the team’s qualified practitioners. Before joining Watershedd Max had a diverse architectural experience working on high-rise mix-use projects and high-end residential schemes in Europe and the Middle East. Since joining Watershedd he has particularly enjoyed the creative process behind developing each residential project’s unique identity while expanding his knowledge of environmentally sustainable design.

Alex Dewick-Tew
