Charlotte approaches architecture with a thoughtful, user-focused mindset shaped by six years of experience across community-led, arts and heritage, and high-end residential projects. Based in London, she brings a unique blend of technical precision and artistic sensibility to her work; an approach that is rooted in a strong academic foundation and a passion for designing spaces that elevate everyday experience.
Academically, Charlotte completed her MArch with First Class Honours at the University of Bath through the Level 7 Apprenticeship route while working at Childs Sulzmann Architects. Her thesis explored the role of scent in architecture, culminating in the design of a natural perfumery in Cádiz that reconnected the city with its olfactory heritage.
Professionally, Charlotte has contributed to a wide range of projects at all RIBA stages, from the restoration of listed civic buildings to contemporary residential schemes. Her experience spans practices of varying scale, including Stride Treglown and BBA Architects, where she developed a deep understanding of heritage-led design and sustainable construction. Now part of the Rigby & Rigby team, Charlotte is broadening her expertise in luxury residential design, working directly with end users and engaging with complex planning and project delivery processes.
With a strong eye for detail and a collaborative, considered approach, Charlotte is committed to delivering architecture that is not only beautiful and functional but meaningfully rooted in its context.
Set within an ambassadorial residence on the prestigious St George’s Hill Estate, this proposed garage outbuilding has been carefully designed to complement the existing architecture while accommodating a private car collection.
Positioned carefully set back within the site, the building remains largely concealed by the surrounding landscape, ensuring minimal visual impact. The architectural language reflects that of the main residence and existing garages, adopting a consistent palette of materials and detailing to create a cohesive and considered composition across the wider estate. The scale and massing of the building are deliberately restrained, aligning with the height of the existing garages to maintain visual continuity.
Internally, the garage provides a secure, fully controlled and dehumidified environment for the storage and preservation of a luxury car collection, alongside additional supporting accommodation including a first-floor apartment with kitchen, lounge and bedroom with en-suite, as well as a dedicated driver’s security room. Sustainable technologies, including solar PV slates and air source heat pumps, are integrated into the design, supporting a contemporary approach to performance while remaining in keeping with the character of the estate.
Overall, the proposal presents a restrained and sympathetic addition - balancing function, discretion and architectural continuity.
