Lucia Wellington

Associate | Experienced Architect

Residential Lead

B.BEnv, B.Arch, M.Arch

Registered Architect TAS #1183

Launceston Studio

Lucia’s respect for people, context and the environment drives her practice. She admires work that contributes to the natural environment rather than degrades it, and firmly believes that all people deserve access to affordable, great design that enhances their daily experiences.

Lucia naturally forms strong, inclusive relationships with her clients. This fundamentally two-way dynamic makes for a fun, engaging exploration of ideas where boundaries are pushed aside and curiosity is embraced.

Lucia’s previous roles include Lead Architect at Happy Haus, Brisbane, and Tutor and Research Assistant at the UTAS School of Architecture and Design. In 2009, she completed an internship at Atelier Bow Wow, Tokyo, which embedded progressive design approaches within her own practice. Lucia remains fascinated by Japan’s built and natural environment.

Lucia likes to work in a place where creativity is fostered, food is shared, sun can be felt and sneakers can be worn.

A candid photograph of Lucia Wellington within a crowd at an outdoor gathering, her face in soft focus as she looks slightly upward, surrounded by people in hats and casual clothing. A modest, weathered cabin set within an open grassy clearing, surrounded by tall trees under a bright blue sky, with simple materials and an improvised, handmade appearance. A quiet rural scene of a small timber house nestled among dense trees beside a still pond, with soft smoke rising from the chimney and the building reflected clearly in the water’s surface.
