Anna Sullivan
Senior Associate, Senior Architect

Anna is a chartered architect on the RIBA Conservation Register with 28 years’ experience in practice. Since joining HTA in 2007, she has evolved a collaborative approach to the complexities of refurbishment, restoration and retrofit. As a registered conservation architect, her experience spans listed buildings, scheduled monuments, conservation areas and historic landscapes.

With specialist understanding of the historical background, materiality and design of older buildings, Anna is experienced in alteration and refurbishment to accommodate new uses. She analyses the history and development of sites and their setting as part of early-stage work for projects across HTA. This research into place identifies and describes its significance in informing design strategies for layouts, materiality, or massing in developing contextualised responses that are distinctively local.

Anna’s interest in the way places have formed over time has led her to contribute place-based research to several of HTA’s projects, allowing our team to optimise our placemaking strategies and design responses in a way that is respectful of context, integrating and protecting local heritage.
