Marche [mar-keh] is a residential architecture studio in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

We design new homes and considered renovations – with particular care for materials, light, and how rooms hold the lives that fill them.

Renovations and additions – Most projects begin with a house that already exists – a shingle that wants to breathe, a kitchen from a different decade.

New homes – When the site is right, modest in footprint, generous in proportions, built to last. European rural and older New England shingle.

Homes built around collections – Designed around the things their occupants live with; art, books, objects, the visible record of a life.
