Peggy Leung Principal
BArch (Hons) UNSW
Registered Architect (Pui Kei Leung, NSW 8440)
Peggy discovered her love for architecture from an early age while building Lego structures. Her passion for architecture only continued to grow over the years, especially after becoming an architect.
Peggy’s style of architecture is centred around creating a unique spatial experience for its inhabitants. Through thoughtful manipulation of scale, proportion and rhythm in her work, Peggy curates the sensual and experiential journey of its occupants. She believes spaces can be framed via scale and proportion and when combined with the relationship to the immediate surroundings, gives a timeless quality to architecture. She has an exceptional eye for high-end, bespoke detailing, that is key to her design philosophy. Using a restrained palette of materials and subtle textures, she strives for the elusive qualities of timelessness and calmness.
Prior to co-founding PARA with Ray, she was employed at an award winning practice, Bates Smart Sydney for four years, where she gained valuable experience working on a range of projects including multi-million dollar residential buildings, student accommodation, and commercial buildings. She was extensively involved in the design development and construction documentation of Boheme Bondi, a large mixed-used development.
