Sarah Wigglesworth

Sarah Wigglesworth is principal of Sarah Wigglesworth Architects. The practice is interested in making sustainable communities that involve buildings employing the inventive use of readily-available materials. We have become known for our highly sensuous and spatially-exciting buildings. The best known demonstration of this approach is the award-winning Straw Bale House and Quilted Office in north London which has won several awards including the Civic Trust Award (2002), an RIBA Award and the RIBA’s prestigeous Sustainability Award, both in 2004. The practice is currently working on a school buildings as well as cultural and housing projects. In 1998 Sarah was named by the Sunday Times ‘Hot 100’ poll as one of three British architects most likely to make an impact on their field within the next ten years. She has been published and exhibited internationally and has lectured world wide.

SARAH WIGGLESWORTH ARCHITECTS

Sarah Wigglesworth Architects is interested in architecture which employs ordinary, readily-available materials in interesting new ways, and in exploring innovative design and aesthetic strategies for sustainable building. We believe that architecture is about the construction of ideas and our work is informed by a wide range of influences driven by a theorisation of the issues which surround design.
