M.Sc. Structural Engineering (ETH Zurich), RIBA Hon.

Julian founded TruTrust in 1998 with a singular mission: to eliminate the friction between architectural vision and structural execution. Over three decades, he has guided the delivery of more than $4 billion in private estates and landmark commercial developments.

“True luxury in architecture is not merely about expensive surfaces; it is the absolute precision of what lies hidden beneath them.”

Marcus Chen, PE

Director of Structural Engineering
Ph.D. Computational Mechanics (MIT), CEng, MIStructE

Marcus is an internationally recognized authority in post-tensioned cantilevers, base-isolated seismic structures, and ultra-high-performance concrete. He ensures that our architects' most daring structural concepts are built with aerospace tolerances.

“We use mathematics to make hundreds of tons of concrete appear as light as silk.”
