THE SHERI HABY PHILOSOPHY

The HEART behind the Architect

Founded in 2013, Sheri Haby Architects started their mission to create beautiful projects that are a mere extension of the family. Buildings that showcase their heart, their soul, and will be a beautiful place for them to enjoy for a very long time. Creating timeless designs that pay homage to their roots, whilst also working towards more sustainable, ethical, and eco-friendly architecture that will stand the test of time.

I work on a range of project types from small house alterations and new bespoke houses to medium-density residential, commercial, and educational commissions. Each project evolves from a sustainable ethos, a belief in quality, not quantity. I look for efficiencies and delight in the design of our buildings with an emphasis on living in the day to day with ease and joy.

The grass is greener where you water it.

A world where we do not think the grass is always greener on the other side, instead we look within, we look around and we notice the beauty that we have that is right in front of us, understanding that it's not in its final version, and probably never will be. I encourage clients to opt into sustainable architecture, adapting and reusing the buildings and spaces they have, and create more functional, sustainable and soul-filled homes that support their wellbeing rather than prescribing the bigger is best method.

    Being brave to be authentic

    I see each project not just as a building or a space, but as a backdrop for our clients’ lives—a place where memories will be made and cherished. I invest time in understanding the lifestyles, tastes, and aspirations of our clients, ensuring that the final architectural design isn’t just beautiful and functional but also deeply personal.

    Functionality over trend

    Our approach is holistic; I consider not only the aesthetics and functionality of a space but also how it feels to those who inhabit it. Take any reality TV show, from The Block to Selling Sunset, luxury is seen as huge houses, big footprints, and wasted space. Whereas Sheri Haby Architects are known for sustainable design, minimising waste by re-utilising space and creating functionality.

    The Artisan approach

    Rather than adopting a mass production movement, Sheri Haby Architects avoids the cookie-cutter approach and instead relies on working alongside other designers and consultants in their field to bring originality and respect into each build. This method produces quality builds and a fun and memorable experience for our clients.

    Design with soul

    I build for families and understand how to translate that in the way of design. Our designs positively impact our client’s lives and improve their way of living. This is a must-have and a non-negotiable.
