She prides herself on her studio’s collaborative skills and personally invests in client relationships to ensure each project is a combined effort with a shared vision.
In 2024, Studio Prineas was awarded the Australian Institute of Architects’ biannual Best in Practice Prize, acknowledging Studio Prineas as an exemplar in practice, culture and architectural achievement.
