I was born in England, but I grew up in Australia from the age of four. After completing my Bachelor of Arts in Architecture at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia, I came to America. I then spent one year at North Carolina State University in The Bachelor of  Architecture program before returning to Australia to complete the degree.

I worked in several commercial architecture firms in Australia, but it was here, at NCSU in Gail Lindsey's Studio class, that I realized that my heart was in sustainable residential design. I have been designing homes and renovations in Carrboro since 1996, always trying to bring to the projects a sensitivity to the unique needs and personalities of the clients, as well as to the impact our work has on the earth. My goal is to benefit from all that the environment offers us while giving back as much as possible.

I registered as an Architect in 2001. Sophie Piesse Architect, PA, is a full service architecture firm that takes a team approach to make building or renovating your home an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
