Annie Naughton

Annie is an architect and certified Passive House designer who helps clients create sustainable, inclusive, and people-centred places.

She brings experience from practices in Cambridge and Liverpool, where she worked across housing, heritage, and sustainability-focused projects. Her professional interests include retrofit, data-driven design, and community engagement – all central to her belief that well-designed buildings can both respect their context and perform for the future.

Sustainability is embedded in every stage of Annie’s design process. She explores creative opportunities to reuse and adapt buildings, specifies materials responsibly, and uses data-driven design to improve building performance. Drawing on her experience with historic buildings, she has a particular passion for retrofit in heritage contexts – balancing the priorities of conservation, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort.

An advocate for community-led design, Annie believes in collaborating closely with end users to shape spaces that truly meet their needs. Beyond her architectural work, she serves as a Trustee for the Histon and Impington Community Land Trust, supporting the delivery of affordable housing and local amenities.

Passionate about accessibility and inclusion, Annie champions diversity both through her design work and by contributing to a positive, progressive studio culture.
