ABOUT US
SEB & FIN Architects is headed by Mark and Seb. We have been close friends since meeting at architecture school in 2004, and started working together in 2019. We like our work to be subtle and thoughtful, we are keen to avoid wasting space, energy, and materials.
ABOUT SEB
I’m Seb — full name Sebouh Kouyoumjian (pronounced Seb-oo Koo-yoom-jan) — a Chartered Architect and Passive House Designer. What I enjoy most about our job is solving problems — finding thoughtful solutions to complex sites. I also take a lot of joy from designing cabinetry. Outside work, I enjoy cooking for family, playing music, and reading — though, really, nothing quite compares to re-watching The Empire Strikes Back.
HOW WE WORK
Before designing anything, we like to spend time getting to know our clients, how they live, and their hopes for their project. We take these things and inject our expertise, eye for detail, and our desire for practicality. Rather than conforming to a fixed style, we let each home take its character from the people who live in it.
ABOUT MARK
I'm Mark Finney, a Chartered Architect. I qualified first in South Africa, and then in the UK. My favourite part of our job is getting my boots dirty on site, and working with talented craftspeople to make our designs real. Outside work, I’m happiest exploring nature — on a mountain bike or hiking with my wife and two daughters.
