Sarah Earney Architecture & Conservation

Sarah Earney Architecture & Conservation is an RIBA Chartered Practice based in south-west London. It is a one-person practice led by me, Sarah Earney, specialising in conservation and contemporary design in historic contexts.

I believe in letting a building's past shape its future and every project starts by understanding its story. I enjoy unraveling the complexity of buildings, conserving, repairing and reimagining; finding new uses, improving efficiency, crafting new elements and bringing joy to historic spaces.

My diverse portfolio includes houses, churches, museums and workspace, connected by the necessity to balance the needs of the historic building with modern living and working practices and future sustainability.

I work directly for people and organisations with historic buildings and churches and in support of architects who need expert advice.
