Héléna Short
Designer
B Arch, M Arch
Héléna brings expertise in the design and delivery of both residential and public projects, and extensive experience in the areas of education and justice.
With a keen focus and passion for beautifully detailed architecture, regardless of the scale or function, Héléna understands the key role that good design has in the community.
In particular, she has the patience and meticulous attention to detail needed to deliver complex projects.
She is currently project lead on several residential projects, and is assisting on amenities for a semi-retirement lifestyle village and Darlington Terraces Student Accommodation. She has completed work on Hartford College and Stanmore House.
Héléna studied in both France and Italy and moved to Sydney in 2014. She loves the quality of architecture produced at SCA and the team’s collaborative spirit.
The Palais Bulle by Antti Lovag, Côte d’Azur, fascinates her – its capacity to evoke dreams, its perfect fit for the site, its building system that captures the best views and its construction as a living sculpture.
Héléna loves exploring urban environments, both here and overseas, and finds movement a major source of inspiration, as walking helps free the mind and fuel creativity.
