Founder and CEO, Templeton

Primarily, I see myself as a creative and a delegate of innovation and informed design. Development, as it’s defined for me, is a delivery of quality and permanence. Master-planning is not a product, it’s the foresight that goes before it— producing an almost intangible effect, with a very real sense of flow and seamlessness.

Similarly, we consider not just the home, but what’s around it— the location, how it works, how it feels and delivers as part of a unified place where people do well. Homes, hotels and communities that will look and work just as beautifully in thirty years’ time as they did the day they were built. That’s the fundamental difference in what we do, and it is what has kept me as passionate about property today as I was when I first began. Certainly, my years in the industry have been an evolution, but these elements remain constant.

And it’s the wider Templeton Group and our partners who I credit for much of our success to date. Beyond the most innovative architects, the most creative designers, the most diligent engineers and the most imaginative landscapers, every Templeton Group team member is here because they share a common ambition for quality and possess respective talents that continue to impress me every single day.

As we venture into new territories, taking advanced technology and invention with us, I’m tremendously confident in the future and where the ability, enthusiasm and innovation of Templeton Group will take us. The decades ahead feel enormously positive and motivating for me and the Templeton Group team.

Associate Director, Ignite Architects

With a master’s degree in Infrastructure and Coastal Project Engineering along with a master’s in Architecture (Civil Building), I bring a unique design insight to the projects I work on, with flexibility across a diverse range of typologies. “Design is about flow, pressure, and vibrations. Nature is the greatest designer, and it provides me with an unlimited source of inspiration. I take a very physical architectural approach – it’s about how people will feel in a space, how the urban landscape will feel in it, and nature too.” - Fabien Leclercq

Principal, Ignite Architects

Over my 25-year career, I’ve gained extensive international experience on projects of varying scale and complexity. As a practice principal, my goal is to engender an environment that fosters our creative craft while collaborating with our clients to deliver exceptional projects. “It’s important to me that people can see that care and attention has been applied to the crafting of a space. From the way the building responds to its urban context down to the smallest touchpoint – all details are equally important.” - Grant Armstrong.
