Eleanor Brough

Eleanor worked at Sarah Wigglesworth Architects for seventeen years, becoming a Director in 2023. In addition to her management duties, she has led projects in the community, education, and housing sectors. She is skilled at responding imaginatively and pragmatically to tight budgets, constrained sites, and the needs of multiple stakeholders.

Eleanor recently completed the new Highbury Roundhouse community centre in Islington and, before that, led the award-winning extension to Mellor Primary Academy. She regenerated Trent Basin, which RIBA East Midlands selected as an exemplary project for her housing work. Eleanor's cross sector experience informed a feasibility study for co-locating a primary school with housing on a town centre site for Ealing Council.

Eleanor has led presentations for clients, community groups, and local authorities. Before joining the Spring Cohort 2024, she contributed to a study into the Architecture of Pharmacies with UCL and has been a visiting technical tutor for Sheffield University since 2019.
