Sophie Hamer - Architect & Interior Architect

Today on the podcast, I speak with Sophie Hamer – architect, interior designer and design writer based in the mountains of Valais, Switzerland. Sophie crafts buildings and spaces in expansive natural landscapes and cities across the globe – from the Swiss Alps to the coastlines of New Zealand and the rolling foothills of Catalonia. Her approach to each project is grounded in place, craft and atmosphere. With an emphasis on stillness and connection to nature, Sophie create spaces that support calmness by slowing down and enriching everyday life. In our conversation, Sophie shares her story – from growing up in Wellington with a love of art and architecture, to early roles at some of New Zealand’s most respected firms, to making the leap to Europe and establishing her own practice abroad. We talk about her reflective approach to design, the challenges and opportunities of building a business in a new country, and how she sees architecture as something far beyond buildings – as a way of living that touches wellbeing, community and the rhythms of nature. Sophie is warm, thoughtful and so considered. She is philosophical, intentional and such a high achiever who is spending this stage of her career laying strong foundations for the future, while staying true to her values.
