Meet Hazel...

I joined KSA in 2022, having recently moved to Southsea and wanting to work for a local, well-established, design conscious, people orientated practice.

Throughout my career I have worked on a broad spectrum of projects, including large site regeneration, educational buildings, sensitive conservation to smaller refurbishment and residential buildings.

I love what I do and enjoy forging strong working relationships with clients, consultants and KSA Placemakers to provide quality design solutions.

My colleagues are skilled collaborators, tech savvy, openminded people and this only makes me want to up my game when working alongside them.

Life outside architecture (is there such a thing?!)

My son was very ill over a 5-year period and as we know life gives us challenges and lessons which almost forces us to adjust accordingly.  This period influenced my work life/balance and my partner and I set up a new business – Pie makers’. Yes that right…

Back to current day - I continue to sell pies at the weekends at Farmers Markets. I find talking to customers helps with my wellbeing immensely and those connections I have made with them enables my brain to recharge for the following week of architecture.  So, if my face looks familiar it might be because I have sold you a pie!
