Committed to ensuring core sustainability and wellness values are embedded in the design and use of buildings, Lucy is passionate about seeking innovative design solutions.

Lucy believes good sustainable design should drive more efficient ways of working, which in turn can produce better buildings and improve the wellbeing of occupants. As one of the first sustainability professionals within the UK to obtain WELL AP credentials, Lucy has advance knowledge of health and wellbeing in the built environment. She also has experience in developing and delivering sustainability strategies across a wide range of projects and sectors.

Lucy is currently leading the WELL, BREEAM and LEED assessments for a flagship mixed-use development in Ireland. She is also the lead sustainability consultant for a retrofit project which will become the headquarters for the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Targeting WELL certification, the project is driving innovation in the use of bio-based materials and biophilic design. Lucy is also currently helping BDP Quadrangle and Human Space target WELL Platinum for our new studio at The Well in downtown Toronto, which will be an exemplar for wellness and sustainability in workplace design.
