Sasha Bhavan

Sasha is a founding partner of Knox Bhavan Architects, practising for over 30 years. She is responsible for many beautiful and award-winning projects which range in size and character, including new cafes and hub buildings in parks, works to precious Listed Buildings and a number of acclaimed new houses.

She is particularly interested in looking at buildings in their context/landscape and making buildings with clarity of form and detailing. She believes in the power of the team – of client, professional and builder working together – and has established long-standing successful professional relationships and collaborations with other design professionals, including landscape architects, engineers and contractors.

Sasha enjoys teaching the next generation of architects and is a part-time teaching fellow at the University of Bath and external examiner at Westminster. She has also been a visiting lecturer and critic at the Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture in Pittsburgh in the US and lectures at universities in the UK.

We are excited for Sasha to join the Building Judges.
