A HEALTHIER
. . . D E S I G N E D
HELLO
My name is Pippa (Pip) Lee, and I am an Australian architect currently living in Sydney. I relocated with my family in 2019 after spending almost 10 years living and working in NYC, where I founded Pip+Pencil (now Haven) in 2016, borne from the impact the city's indoor-centric lifestyle was having on my health and well-being, as well as a personal sensitivity to chemical smells.
Hailing from a country proud of its clean and healthy outdoor lifestyle, the shift towards spending a majority of my time either indoors or surrounded by many forms of pollution was the catalyst for the shift towards a healthy design approach.
Since discovering the world of non-toxic living in 2016, I have not turned back (once you know, you cannot un-know!) and have spent many years slowly converting my space into a healthy home. Then, after having my son in 2018, I spent countless hours researching and looking for non-toxic pieces for his nursery, a room I am very passionate about being a safe and non-toxic haven for babies!
I strongly believe that our health starts in the home, and our indoor environments have a significant impact on our mental and physical state. If you think your home is impacting your quality of life, feel overwhelmed (gosh, I know I did!) by the information out there or would just like some help or guidance, then please reach out to us at pip@havendesigned.com.au
