Mark at Dowling Design works out of his small offices in Hobsonville to provide personalized, custom architectural design services. He is a really nice guy and seems very happy operating as a one man band. That’s the beauty about owning your own business, you set your hours and you are the be all and end all. Judging by his big new car, things are going very well for Dowling Design. Mark will tackle any project whether it is your small beach bach, a kitchen renovation or a challenging design for a mansion — there are one or two in the North Auckland vicinity and I wonder how many of these he has lent his services to. There is also massive development just around the corner at Hobsonville Point which must bring in some business to this local architect designer.
