Hi, I'm Pippa
Architect, WELL AP and Healthy Home Expert
I’m an architect, WELL Accredited Professional and healthy building expert with more than 15 years’ experience in design and construction.
I founded Haven to bring that experience together with my study of building biology. I look at the whole indoor environment, from materials and moisture to air, water and light, and turn the evidence into clear, practical choices.
Today I work with families, house hunters, homeowners, builders and developers to create places that support the people inside them.
It all started with nurseries...
Designing rooms for newborns, I started asking questions the industry rarely asks.
What's actually in this paint?
What is this mattress made of?
What's off-gassing from the joinery we just specified?
The answers were hard to find, and when I found them, often alarming.
I wanted to look beyond minimum building requirements and understand how everyday choices about materials, air, water and light could better support the people inside.
Haven exists to close that gap. I bring the rigour of architectural training and the evidence base of the WELL Building Standard to the spaces we live and work in, from nurseries to whole homes to commercial fit-outs.
Architecture meets indoor health
Calm, evidence-based, and never alarmist. I work from independent data and third-party certifications rather than marketing claims, and I believe the spaces we inhabit should actively support health, not merely avoid causing harm.
