The team behind Camphomes
British architect Matthew Falkiner and tech entrepreneur Chris Marlett believe deeply in the power of great design to nurture the connections that are so often missing in Western family life. That’s why they set out to bring exceptional design and building to everyone, not just those commissioning bespoke projects.
Their mission: to make spaces where people thrive.
The idea for Camphomes began with Chris’s move to Dallas, where his traditional house had a big yard but nowhere to entertain or spread out.
“The house wasn’t designed for a complex modern family. We wanted to work from home, have parties and breakout spaces where the kids could do their thing. We faced a decision – knock down the home and start again, or add to it. We decided to add two independent structures – an entertaining pool house and a guest house/exercise room.
It was transformational. Everyone had their own space, and guests felt more at ease. It was a better way to live.”
Chris’s family thrived, forming deeper connections and creating lasting memories. Inspired by this success, Chris teamed up with architect Matthew to bring this joyful, campus-style living to a broader audience. And so the journey began.
