Hailing from country NSW, Sarah Truscott is a registered architect and qualified interior designer with some 15 years of industry experience in NSW, the ACT and Tasmania.

Sarah is passionate about the environment we live in, both natural and built. She strives to make positive contributions to people’s lives and their communities through the practice of architecture.

Sarah has been the lead architect on projects that have won accolades at the ACT Chapter Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) awards. Lemon Wedge House won the prestigious Malcolm Moir and Heather Sutherland Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New) in 2020, which she designed as lead architect at Philip Leeson Architects.

In 2019, Sarah held the position of jury chair for the ACT Chapter AIA Awards. She considers this a great honour to have been in a position to review, appreciate, and directly learn from the work of her peers throughout the process.

Sarah was awarded the Tafe NSW State Medal for Interior Design in 2003, upon completion of her interior design studies at the Enmore Design Centre. She was the recipient of the Eric Parker Traveling Scholarship during her architectural studies at the University of Newcastle in 2004, which enabled her to undertake a two month self-directed drawing study tour through Europe.

Sarah has intentionally diverse experience in the field of architecture. Prior to establishing her own architecture practice, Sarah worked on various projects in the public and private education sector (with Luttrell Pyefinch Architects in Hobart, and CCJ Architects in Canberra), and public and private housing projects (whilst working at Philip Leeson Architects in Canberra).
