Lisa is one of the founding members of 7N Architects. She studied at the Bartlett School of Architecture and at the Glasgow School of Art where she graduated with distinction in 2005.

She joined Make Architects that year and worked on several residential mixed use projects including Southall Gasworks, a sustainable masterplan in West London, and Westfield Avenue, an affordable housing development in Edinburgh. Lisa also continued to work with the international artist Esther Shalev-Gerz on a permanent artwork in public space in Glasgow, called ‘A Thread’; a project she became involved in whilst at the GSA.

Lisa has played a key role on the award winning Speirs Locks masterplan, and is currently taking the first stage of this work forward on the Garscube Link project, an innovative public realm initiative that will significantly improve connectivity between the Speirs Locks site and the city centre. Lisa has considerable experience working on complex sites with challenging problems and multiple stakeholders, which have been unlocked by engaging people with innovative design approaches.
