meet Markus.

Studio Four Design Principal and VP, Markus Chady, has been a part of the team since 2019. With a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Tennessee and years of extensive experience in the field, Markus has a deep appreciation for the many “moments of discovery” in his profession, whether hearing a client’s dreams, finding the potential in an existing space, or seeing “the entire team’s vision embodied in the creation of meaningful spaces.” Reflecting on the team culture at Studio Four Design, Markus notes the collaborative environment and empowerment of employees as a strength of the organization. “Young professionals develop quickly into savvy problem solvers and more seasoned practitioners benefit from fresh perspectives.”

Markus loves any activity that takes him outdoors, and time spent on the water at Norris Lake with his family ranks as his #1 favorite destination. As a dedicated “VFL”, you’ll often find him cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers.
