Having worked with Gooch in the past, Justina was a founding team member of the practice and became an Associate in 2022. She leads the international Creative Media and Masterplanning projects, in addition to the ongoing restoration of a historic listed Jacobean Manor House project in Oxfordshire and other architectural works to private estates.

Notable past projects include the conversion and extension of the listed Brentford Magistrate's Court into apartments, restoration and remodelling of a Georgian terrace in Belgravia and multiple refurbishment projects at UCL Bloomsbury Campus including several learning spaces, and notably, the Bloomsbury Theatre.

Justina's Masterplanning specialism is informed by her passion for architecture that considers and has a positive effect upon its wider environment. Consequently, she has developed expertise in ecological and environmental site management, from bats and great crested newts in Oxfordshire to koalas in Western Australia, treating each project with equal rigour and dedication.

Lilian is a passionate and versatile Project Architect with experience working on a wide range of projects, from residential and commercial builds to mixed-use developments and heritage retrofits. She has led teams and delivered projects across all stages (RIBA 1-5), balancing creative vision with technical precision. She is currently Project Architect on the Grade II* listed early Georgian estate project in Hampstead, London.

Lilian enjoys working on bespoke and heritage projects of larger scales that allow for precise high-quality design as well as opportunities to engage with wider context and public realm.

Marta holds nearly a decade of professional experience in London, where she has honed her technical skills across housing and commercial projects, with a particular focus on retrofit design.

Her international background includes work in the Netherlands and Spain, enriching her architectural perspective with diverse cultural and contextual insights. Marta studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (ETSAV) and RWTH Aachen University in Germany, graduating with distinction in 2014. Her thesis explored prefabrication techniques in contrast with vernacular architecture-an early expression of her interest in innovative yet context-sensitive design.

As the Senior Architect on our Jacobean Manor House project, Marta champions a material-led, sustainable approach to architecture, embedding environmental responsibility and precision at every stage of the design and construction process.

'Zeba' studied architecture at Pelita Harapan University, before working for an architecture studio in Bali on projects throughout Indonesia, including a private two-storey villa in Bali and a boutique resort near the shores of Lombok. He joined Atelier Gooch as an Architectural Designer and quickly developed into a 3D modelling specialist, producing photorealistic renderings and video content for our high-end residential projects, wider masterplans and film studio developments.

Zeba embraces the importance of communication through visualization in any shape or form and is continually exploring the opportunities of how to present our design concepts to clients that allow them to not only see but fully immerse themselves in the potential of their projects.

With a strong foundation in technically focused architecture from the University of Bath and London Metropolitan University that promoted a collaborative ethos between architecture and structural engineering, Patrick's career has consistently centred on interdisciplinary design. He has delivered a broad spectrum of residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, including leading the design of Vine Hill, a mixed-use development combining hotel, office refurbishment and affordable housing; and managing key phases of the East Wick and Sweetwater project in the Olympic Park, which involved collaboration with other plot architects and stakeholders such as the LLDC and Quality Review Panel.

More recently, Patrick has focused on private residential projects with bespoke refurbishments and extensions across London. His design approach is inherently client-focused with a deep appreciation for narrative-led, people-centric spaces. Since joining Atelier Gooch, he is leading on many of our London residential projects, from a large late Georgian Grade II* Hampstead estate, to remodelling Victorian terraces in Notting Hill into luxurious, contemporary family homes.

His passion lies in designing homes that tell the story of the people who live in them-spaces shaped by close collaboration, careful listening, and an understanding of how architecture supports everyday life.
