Sophie Ungerer

Biography

Sophie is an architect and designer, living, practicing, teaching, drawing and exploring in London.

In her teaching and research, Sophie is curious about the threshold between the interior and the city and the range in scale and atmosphere of ‘internal spaces’, from a domestic setting to public spaces. How can our design proposals reflect the transient urban lifestyle of today and respond to the social and environmental challenges we are facing?

Sophie’s recent research includes interdisciplinary collaborations, exploring links between urban and interior spaces of memory and literature / poetry.

As a practicing architect, Sophie has worked at a number of award-winning design practices in the UK, often involving adaptation and reuse of existing buildings. She has experience in a wide range of project types, from retail projects for Selfridges Birmingham to primary school projects, social housing schemes as well as high end residential projects.
