Sasha founded Liv Architects with a clear purpose: to design contemporary, low-energy homes that feel effortless to live in and deeply connected to their surroundings. Her focus is on creating houses that not only look beautiful but also perform brilliantly — comfortable, efficient, and built to last.

Clients value Sasha’s calm, collaborative approach and her ability to translate ideas into homes that feel personal, practical, and refined. Her deep understanding of both design and construction means she can guide clients confidently through every stage of their project — from early concepts to the final details on site.

With a background spanning hands-on construction and senior roles in award-winning architectural practice, Sasha brings a rare blend of creativity and technical insight. Her work has been recognised with national and regional awards, reflecting her belief that the best homes are those where thoughtful design and everyday life come seamlessly together.

Based in west Norfolk, Sasha is passionate about raising the standard of domestic architecture in the region — creating homes that tread lightly on the landscape while enriching the lives of those who live in them. Beyond her project work, she mentors architecture students and leads the RIBA East Small Practice Network, championing collaboration, diversity, and sustainable practice across the profession.

Having grown up in Norfolk, Lucy returned home in 2024 to join Liv Architects, bringing with her over 15 years of experience in residential architecture gained while living and working in rural Somerset.

Throughout her career, she has helped clients and small developers turn ideas into beautifully crafted, practical homes — guiding projects from the first sketch all the way through to completion. Lucy believes the best homes are those that balance beauty, sustainability, and everyday practicality. She is passionate about creating spaces that genuinely work for the people who live in them — homes that feel inspiring yet grounded, efficient yet full of character. Her approachable nature and clear communication make the design process enjoyable and collaborative, helping clients feel confident and understood every step of the way.

Outside the studio, Lucy’s love of making and adventure continues — whether she’s renovating her own home, playing competitive netball, or exploring the UK’s canals aboard her narrowboat.

Evangeline joined Liv Architects in 2025, bringing with her a deep connection to Norfolk — the landscape and architecture that first sparked her passion for design. Returning home has given her the opportunity to contribute to the region she loves, creating homes that sit harmoniously within their surroundings and reflect the character of the places they belong to.

With a strong background in residential design, Evangeline is particularly interested in how thoughtful architecture can enhance everyday life. She focuses on creating homes that respond sensitively to their setting — balancing form, material, and light to achieve spaces that feel grounded, comfortable, and enduring. Clients value her considered approach and her ability to see both the big picture and the finer detail.

Outside the studio, Evangeline finds inspiration in travel, paddle boarding, and exploring different cultures — experiences that continually inform her creative outlook and deepen her understanding of how people connect with place.

Tara is our office administrator, joining the team in 2020 following relocation to the area. With a wealth of experience in general administrative and secretarial duties, Tara keeps the practice running smoothly, as well as being the first point of contact on the phones and reception.

 

Alongside her day to day role, Tara has been instrumental in the implementation of new systems within the practice, helping the projects run smoothly and ensuring our clients have a seamless user experience.

Barney the Goldendoodle is our office dog, having spent his days in the studio since he was a tiny pup. He specialises in snoozes (often on people's feet), staring intently at the team when they are eating, bringing clients his ball in the hope of a game, and providing unconditional affection.

 

Barney completely understands that not everyone loves big dogs as much as our team, so if you're going to be visiting us and would prefer not to have him close by, just let us know.

Say hi.
