WHO WE ARE 
ANDREW AND MARY

Andrew and Mary from Elite Dwellings are designing a career in property! How are they doing this?

​

JANUARY 01, 2023 

// MARY
Mary has worked on a number of high-end, luxury projects including a landmark residential building for the ex-Mayor of Shanghai in the heart of Sydney. She has an exceptional eye for design and is largely responsible for the luxury and stylish interiors achieved in Elite projects. Mary also gets to share her talents as she teaches architecture and design to University students in Leeds and Manchester.
​
// ANDREW
Just like Mary, Andrew has a wealth of experience across different sectors of architecture and has worked on a number of high profile projects in the UK and Australia. He loves to get stuck into the nitty-gritty stages of property, re-configuring floor plans and project managing trades on site - he’s at his happiest when he is wearing a hard hat!
