Fiona Darey

Joining the team in the summer of 2023. With an impressive 25-year career in architecture, Fiona has cultivated a diverse portfolio that spans the globe, reflecting her dedication to innovative and sustainable design.

Fiona’s architectural journey began at the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow, followed by advanced studies at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) in London, where she earned her diploma, master’s degree, and completed her Part III qualification. Her early career took her to Hong Kong, where she contributed to high-profile projects like the Chep Lap Kok airport and various residential developments in China.

Back in the UK, Fiona worked with award-winning practices, bringing her expertise in both architecture and interiors to the public, commercial, and private sectors. She has a particular talent for creating beautifully crafted spaces that are as functional as they are magical, consistently demonstrating inventiveness, intelligence, and passion in her work.  Fiona has also held leadership roles in community groups.

After living in Bath and running her own practice, Fiona relocated to Cornwall in 2022 with her young family, where they designed and built their own sustainable home. This move reflects her personal and professional commitment to environmentally responsible design that brings joy to its users and responds to the challenges of climate change.

Beyond architecture, Fiona is embracing new adventures, including sailing, bodyboarding, and DIY projects, adding another layer of creativity and exploration to her life.
