Lucie Tinsdale
associate

BArch(Hons), DipArch, ARB, Passive House Certified Designer

Lucie has contributed to and led a broad range of projects at WT Architecture including An Crubh Community Hub on Isle of Skye, a 16 house development in the Scottish Borders and a variety of private houses including new build, conversion and extension. Most recently Lucie led a multi building project in East Lothian with a large B-listed house renovation and extension, a dance studio, woodland cabin, boat house and bothy in East Lothian.

Training at Edinburgh College of Art, Lucie completed her studies in 2010 and built up over 5 years combined experience in design-led practices prior to joining WT Architecture at the start of 2015. 

During her Part 1 experience at Malcolm Fraser Architects Lucie worked on a number of carefully crafted projects, often in historic buildings and context. Following graduation, Lucie gained extensive experience in community engagement, masterplanning and urban design as well as community, arts and culture and residential buildings with RMJM and 7N Architects.

With a keen interest in psychology, in the impact of the built environment on individual and collective wellbeing and in architecture’s potential to positively impact people’s everyday lives, Lucie specialised in the subject of Architecture and Wellbeing in her post-grad training. This passion continues to inform Lucie’s approach to design as well as her personal and professional development through Non-Violent Communication training and practice.

Lucie has also taught part-time at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture alongside practice for two and a half years. This inspired a passion for tutoring and mentoring up-and-coming Architects and she continues to tutor whenever opportunities arise.

Lucie became an Associate in 2023. Her professional focus is developing practice and project management and expanding on the studio’s sustainable and low carbon design through Passive House principles. Lucie became a Passive House Certified Designer in January 2024.

In her personal life Lucie is a mum who loves all manner of adventures with her husband and seven year old son. She is an avid maker, gardener and loves the outdoors, especially hiding away in remote locations with family and friends.
