Mark R. Yoo is a licensed architect in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia and is certified by the National Council of Architecture Registration Boards for reciprocation in all fifty states.
He is also a LEED Accredited Professional, a member of the International Code Council, and a Class A licensed General Contractor in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. He has over twenty years of experience as an architect ranging from wood-framed single-family residential design and construction to multi-building mixed-use commercial developments exceeding one million square feet to class A commercial interiors including government-certified Secure Compartmentalized Information Facilities SCIF]. Mark served as the Vice Chairman of the Alexandria Zoning Board of Appeals for eight years. Having overseen and managed millions of square feet of buildings of numerous types and sizes specializing in complex building reuse and repositioning Mark has successfully designed, documented, and constructed numerous buildings and building renovations including historic renovations throughout the Washington DC Metro area and across the country. Additionally, Mark owns and operates a commercial carpentry company, Heritage Fine Carpentry, that specializes in all forms of commercial carpentry and completes nationwide fine finished carpentry work across the continental United States.
The firm was created based on two simple ideas as guiding principles. First, it is rooted in the more traditional idea of the role of the architect as a master builder. The idea that the architect should have a deep understanding of the tectonics of design as well as building construction, gained through practical experience. We excel at understanding the science of building systems and how these systems influence the overall design of a building. We as master builders strive to take an active role in all scales of design by utilizing our facility with the parts and pieces of building construction resulting in a craftsmanship of the design of the building from the largest concept down to the smallest details.
Second, the firm embraces technology to the greatest extent possible to improve the speed and accuracy of the design and documentation, as well as increase our ability to collaborate across the building disciplines. Utilizing cloud computing technology we have created a collaborative environment that facilitates a flexibility of involvement by specialized design professionals. We have created a consortium of architects who are masters of their specialty and who, depending on the requirements of the project, can be involved as expert consultants, collaborators or partners to successfully deliver even the most complex and specialized projects.
