His research into affordable housing has led to a series of academic design studios that question conventional building practices and explore smarter, more sustainable solutions. His Truss House and 70:30 House prototypes reimagine building systems to support multi-generational living, culminated in a submittal for Milwaukee’s Net-Zero Affordable Housing initiative. He also designed a single-family home prototype for Habitat for Humanity, which has been built over 20 times in Milwaukee.

Marc’s practice, bauenstudio, has received national recognition, including awards from the Boston Society of Architects, the Boston Society of Landscape Architects, and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. The firm’s work has ranged in scale from furniture to urban design, including housing innovation, memorial design, and site-specific installations. It was notably recognized as an Emerging Practice by Architectural Record.
