Meet Sarah Lee, Senior Associate Architect at Stride Treglown and RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) South West Chair “I discovered architecture when I was only eight and couldn’t have known much about it or the true reach and breadth of this profession at that age, but I was quite artistic and attracted to the creativity and possibility of producing beautiful and useful spaces that enhance human experience. Many years later I have been in practice for over 20 years and worked on many diverse building types from schools and military facilities to a children’s nursery and more recently an amazing new crematorium, designing buildings, literally for use from cradle to grave!
“Architects are involved with projects and the client from inception to completion of a building project and must know a little about a lot of different elements – it’s a very demanding but rewarding career!” We all use and need buildings, whether to work, live or play in. I love what I do and the process of working closely with people to understand their requirements and listen to the nuances and detail of what will make that building perfect for them and their use and interpreting that with the rest of the design team into a beautiful and inspiring, uplifting or calming environment, whatever is required!”
