Stephen Sefton

Stephen’s approach to design goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about performance, sustainability, and making a lasting impact. His work often blends building types, creating hybrid spaces where sports, education, healthcare, and civic architecture converge. By merging diverse functions, he designs environments that are adaptable and foster meaningful connections.

A skilled collaborator, Stephen excels at bringing out the best in teams while mentoring the next generation of talent. He champions sustainable, human-centered design and always pushes for excellence, ensuring his projects not only blend into their surroundings but elevate them. To Stephen, buildings should tell a story. Whether designing a stadium, a school, or a civic hub, he immerses himself in research to understand the history, culture, and climate of a place. His designs reflect the identity of the communities they serve, creating spaces that are both functional and deeply rooted in their environment.
