Principal, Tim Bailey, has been an architect since 1992 and has been involved with a diverse range of realised projects with contract values between £50,000 and £6million throughout the North East and London.

Born in the North East Tim made a positive decision to stay in the region after graduating from Newcastle University and create a practice that had a strong design ethos underpinning a realistic commercial approach to projects. In addition he has developed a strong relationship with the arts sector working collaboratively and for arts clients as well as in the retail, leisure, residential and commercial sectors.

m a r c e l l e  m a r d o n  BA(Hons) BArch(Hons)

As a Zimbabwean, Marcelle feels strongly about her African roots and therefore likes to work with a simple but rich and earthy approach.

A graduate from Newcastle University, she had the opportunity to work with Catalan and Basque cultures during her studies. After graduating she worked in a local practice for 3 years before joining xsite.

She is interested in how community and architecture could work closely together, while promoting equal opportunities within the industry.

Outside of the office she plays Capoiera and has ambitions of getting more involved in other arts such as drama and photography.
