Owen Gardner
Head of Operations
Bringing over 25 years of experience in the building and design industry, Owen approaches every home from a practical, builder’s perspective. He specialises in making sure design concepts are not only visually stunning, but also structurally sound, compliant and cost-effective before breaking ground. Owen takes a hands-on approach across every build in the Gardner Design portfolio, personally guiding projects from that initial spark of an idea through to the emotional moment of handing over the keys. When he isn't on site or in the studio, Owen is an avid surfer and snowboarder who loves spending outdoor time with his family.
