Hi, I’m Stephanie

I am an Architect with 20+ years experience, 15 of those in my own highly respected residential design practice Skyring Architects.
I am passionate about environmental design. It increases home livability, property value and future-proofing and is critical for the future of our children and our planet.
But I understand the challenges of staying up-to-date and implementing the latest environmental ideas while managing the everyday demands of architectural practice and life.
I created Renovation Collaborative to help you overcome these problems so together we can create more affordable and environmentally sustainable homes and buildings for now and the future.
