James Solari

Sarah Pells

Senior Architectural Graduate

After graduating with my Bachelor of Architecture in 2016, I joined Solari Architects in 2017. Working full time during 2017 and 2018, I gained valuable experience on multi-unit and Kāinga Ora projects. After my year of work experience, I had the opportunity to travel Europe for 5 months, immersing myself in architecture from ancient to modern, enhancing my knowledge and passion.In 2019, I started my Master of Architecture while working part-time at Solari, completing it in 2021 before returning to Solari full time. My architectural passions include sustainability – social and environmental, modernism, and cultural architecture. I was lucky enough to pursue these passions in my thesis and through my career at Solari. My strengths lie within design, designing for wellbeing, problem solving, and teamwork. My love for architecture has been enhanced through my work experience, volunteering, and travels.
