Certified Passive House Designer 25+ years global experience in high-end residential and sustainable design.
Originally from the UK, Amanda is the founder and studio director of Panda Studio Architecture. A Registered Architect in NSW and Certified Passive House Designer, she brings over 25 years of experience across the UK, Hong Kong and Australia. Amanda studied at the University of Cambridge and the Kent Institute of Art and Design, graduating with Distinction and receiving a nomination for the RIBA President’s Silver Medal in 2001.
Amanda’s work is underpinned by rigorous research, a love of strong conceptual design and meticulous attention to detail – from planning policy right down to the materials. A mother of two, her spare time is eclectic and energetic: think muay thai boxing, kundalini yoga and Bollywood dancing. Yes, she really is one kickass architect.
“Amanda cares about the end result, is a masterful designer and we are very grateful to have had her on our team!”
