Siri Zanelli
Siri is an architect who is passionate about positive change through our built environment, whether it is in a local community, on a difficult site, or in a carefully designed bespoke home.
Educated in Norway and Japan, she has worked on everything from large infrastructure schemes to log cabins, but the golden thread through her work is her a clear headed optimism. She always finds a way to add a bit more colour, texture and joy; the human touch, to any project.
Siri help clients to achieve their design aspirations for buildings and spaces. Whether it is a domestic projects, bringing light, space, colour and a sustainable outlook to renovations and extensions, or repurposing non-clinical NHS spaces to be welcoming and support better health outcomes. She brings her expertise in designing for health to education and performance spaces as well as to wellbeing projects.
The right architect should help translate your vision and allow you to be an active participant in the process. Whether it’s a new construction or a renovation, a housing project, a school or a cultural centre, Siri and the Collective Works team will partner with you to create spaces that will work for you and for everyone, now and in the future. Architecture is a collaborative endeavour and can be a force for good, taking every project beyond the ordinary.
Your home renovation
Siri leads on many of our home renovation projects. Her practical and elegant solutions range from replanning space and interior design to full retrofit projects that ensure that your home is comfortable, low energy and has a minimal environmental impact.
We get excited by the potential of beautiful and responsible architecture, and we want to work with people to realise this potential in their homes.
Are you thinking about renovating or extending your home but unsure where to start? Are you wondering whether you can afford to add an extension, enlarge your kitchen, or do a full refurbishment of your house?
If you are saying to yourself, “I don’t know where to begin“, our stand alone design consultancy with Siri, is for you. Find out more about taking The First Step.
“Our consultation with Siri was exceptional. It was beyond helpful to have such detailed guidance at the start of our home extension journey because we are now going in eyes wide open, with a very realistic idea of cost and timeframe. Siri’s ideas about how to extend our space without losing what we love about it, were so clever.”
Wellbeing
Whatever your project, your wellbeing should be at the forefront of the design – whether in air quality in your home, bringing calm to a nhs space through biophilia and acoustics, supporting the mental wellbeing of children through places for creative, unstructured play or a place to focus on your own fitness and wellbeing.
Siri is currently undertaking a WELL course to support our focus on the physical and mental wellbeing of those who use the buildings we design.
An inclusive, kind and equitable world

Siri takes her role as a female leader of a small architecture practice – and by default also as a role model, informal mentor and ally – seriously. It is for this role that she has been shortlisted in the 2024 Inspiring Women in Property Awards ‘Woman of the Year – Residential’ category.
