Lizzy Westmacott

Lizzy is a qualified Architect and certified Passive House Designer with 20 years’ experience of design and getting projects delivered on site.

The combination of practical experience as an architect and a deep knowledge of sustainability enables her to build the practice’s expertise, as well as sharing our work more widely. She has excellent communication skills which are put to use talking to residents of homes we’re retrofitting, teaching and enabling staff internally and participating in sustainability groups outside the office.

Since moving to Glasgow in 2023 Lizzy has led several retrofit feasibility studies, including looking at how whole estates of buildings can be decarbonised. This work brings together large amounts of data with more specific, building-level interventions, to create realistic, practical plans that can be implemented over time.

She has also become a director of Loco Home, which encourages and enables homeowners to retrofit their own homes. But still has time to enjoy the lochs and mountains of Scotland.
