Tracey Roughana
Architect
Summary
Fair to say I am passionate about architecture and design, but more specifically that which is of its place and that connects us with the natural world and with each other. Inclusive. People-oriented. Uplifting.
Fusing socially sustainable, climate responsive and biophilic principles to shape spaces for living, learning, working and playing; for being and doing is fundamental to a good neighbourly outcome.
Not uniquely, my happy place is when I can take ownership of a project and see it through from inception to delivery. I revel in client, consultant, end-user, and contractor collaboration and the bringing together of their sometimes disparate wants and needs.
I respect context, love diversity, and look forward to a time when regenerative design is the industry standard.
