Collaborative, Supportive and Passionate

Evergreen Design Studio believe in the power of collaboration to create exceptional architecture. We work closely with you to develop a design that creates an inspirational space that works for you and minimises environmental impact as well as energy bills. We spend time to understand your vision and goals and develop a design that reflects these but exceeds your expectations.

Iterative, Warm and Responsive

Evergreen Design Studio take an iterative approach in my work to ensure the final design aligns with your unique project requirements and architectural vision. We’ll work together to refine and fine-tune your building design, leaving no detail overlooked. 

In design, communication is key, we will always respond promptly to your queries and observations to maintain project momentum.

Experienced, Connected and Knowledgeable

Heather leads the design and management of all projects, with the support of chosen consultants and collaborators when required. We can offer the full design service covering all RIBA Stages of Work from initial concept design through to contract administration on site. Evergreen Design Studio has contacts throughout the design and construction industry and as such we are well versed and happy to collaborate with other design and construction professionals. 

Heather has spoken at a number of events and appeared in several publications discussing sustainability. She has been a guest speaker at two Sustainable St Albans events, appeared on BBC Newsnight discussing Passivhaus and how you can be more sustainable at home and appeared in The Times.

With an expertise in sustainable and low energy design, we can also work as an extension to a main project team to make sure that design aesthetics are celebrated whilst making the building as energy efficient as possible in a consultant capacity. 

Family Focussed 

Heather lives in North Hertfordshire and works flexibly to fit in around her husband Olli, dog Winston and soon-to-be growing family so she understands that communication and meetings don’t always fall easily into traditional office hours. This flexibility affords the opportunity for client discussions to occur outside normal office hours which can often be beneficial all round so please don’t be shy in asking for meetings to happen on a schedule that suits you! It also means you may get emails from her at odd times, but be assured she will get back to you promptly!
