DIRECTOR | ARCHITECT

In 2020, Sarah was (solely) awarded the Australian Institute of Architects’ National Emerging Architect Prize. The prize recognises an individual emerging architect's contribution to "architectural practice, education, design excellence and community involvement, which advances the profession’s role within the public arena."

In 2023, Sarah was selected as one of 5 participants for the Dulux Study Tour. “The Australian Institute of Architects Dulux Study Tour is one of our most coveted awards. It acknowledges early-career architects for their individual achievements and contribution to architectural practice, education, design excellence and community involvement.”

Until 2022, Sarah worked in Canberra as the Principal Architect at an interdisciplinary firm, Light House Architecture and Science. Here she worked under nationally recognised building scientist, Jenny Edwards, and they focused on achieving high levels of energy efficiency while studying affordability and buildability.

Sarah has returned to her family farm in Tooma, NSW, to focus on providing leading sustainable design services to regional people and communities.

GRADUATE OF ARCHITECTURE

Jayden is a graduate of architecture who has experience working across a range of project scales; from residential to medical projects and schools.

Like many graduates, Jayden found himself questioning his career, and took a detour working remotely as an environment artist for a gaming company.

But he knew he wanted to be an architect and find a job that aligned with his ethics of addressing climate change and increasing the accessibility of good design to those who can’t access it so easily, such as regional communities.

MENTAL HEALTH COACH

No office dogs here.

But we do have Melody. She is Sarah’s Mental Health Coach and works with her on a part-time basis providing regular mental health sessions throughout the week.

She’s a great listener and helps Sarah seek an elevated perspective on life.
