Rebecca Hawkett

Associate | Architect

Rebecca Hawkett.
Rebecca’s passion for Architecture comes from a love for the Australian Landscape and belief that all people should have access to good design and healthy environments in their workplaces, homes, schools and community. Rebecca is motivated by her value to provide positive change in all work she undertakes. She believes the best design outcomes do not concede to a certain style, rather are informed by contextual awareness, and strive to envision a sense of its place and a connection to its people and its history.

Rebecca begun her career working on a variety of projects, throughout various landscapes in Western Australia at a small architectural practice in Perth, before joining Studio.SC in 2020. Many of these projects had high social agendas and challenging environmental conditions, which she believes has been highly valuable in teaching her the sensitivities and responsibilities of architectural practice. She has also spent time abroad studying in Portugal and China with a focus on exploring how different cultural and urban conditions can inform design and drive positive change.

Rebecca has worked on a diverse range of projects in education, age-care, healthcare, leisure, public space, retail, hotel, social housing, and private-residential sectors, across the full range of architectural service. Collective collaboration, community engagement and embracing all voices is essential to her work methodology. Her career highlight so far has been to watch first-hand, the senior residents of Swancare Retirement Village transition from trepidation to joy and enthusiasm for the new Leisure Facility project she worked on for the community.
