Marcus Barnett

Spear’s Review

Marcus Barnett spent seven years as an officer with the Scots Guards before deciding to switch careers and become a full-time garden designer. After graduating with distinction from the Inchbald School of Design, he established his own company, Marcus Barnett Studio. 

His impressive portfolio includes large country houses in the Cotswolds, a 65-hectare vineyard in Sardinia, townhouses in Chelsea, and the outdoor spaces, gardens, roof terraces and courtyards at the newly opened Raffles London at The OWO. 

Barnett also lectures at various design schools and has given several public talks across the UK and Europe. Particularly aware of his environmental impact, Barnett always keeps his carbon footprint in mind when working on any project to ensure that nature is the first to benefit from his work.
