Designing Flexible, Family-Centred Homes in North London That Feel Calm and Considered

Sarah is an architect who specialises in creating practical, flexible homes for busy families – spaces that support everyday life while offering calm, joy, and long-term value. Based in Stoke Newington, she combines personal insight with professional expertise to help homeowners design homes that truly work for them.

Designing With Real Life in Mind

With a young family of her own, Sarah understands how quickly life shifts. How important it is for your home to adapt with you. Whether it’s carving out quiet space, opening up the kitchen for big family gatherings, or creating better flow between indoors and out, Sarah’s design approach is always rooted in how you want to live.

She believes every room should earn its keep: from layout and materials to lighting and storage, the aim is to make your space work hard, look great, and feel like home.

Inspired by People, Shaped by Purpose

Sarah loves getting to know each client. Understanding their day-to-day, listening to their priorities, and finding creative ways to solve problems. Whether you’re dreaming of hosting the perfect Christmas, making space for work and rest, or just reducing the chaos of daily life, Sarah can help make that vision a reality.

A Varied Architectural Journey

Sarah studied at the Mackintosh School in Glasgow and The Bartlett in London. She began her career at the Stirling Prize-winning practice Wilkinson Eyre. Over the years, she’s worked in both boutique studios and large practices. Delivering everything from bespoke interiors to masterplans and urban regeneration schemes.

She founded her own practice in 2014 after starting her family in 2010. Bringing together professional skill and lived experience to focus on what she’s most passionate about – designing homes that work for families, now and into the future.
