Alexandra McLennan

As an Interior Architect, I specialize in creating interiors that balance heritage, sustainability, and contemporary design while responding to each client’s unique vision. My experience spans high-end residential projects, heritage renovations, and conceptual spaces, including time working with Stefan Antoni, one of the world’s leading architectural firms, where I gained exposure to internationally acclaimed design practices. I am proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, D5 Render, and the Adobe Suite, using these tools to produce detailed models, renderings, and presentations that communicate both technical precision and design intent. I enjoy collaborating closely with clients, consultants, and contractors to ensure every project is functional, aesthetically cohesive, and deeply personal, while also embracing innovation and creative problem-solving.

I had the opportunity to work on a contractual role with Tsebo Workplace Design, contributing to one of the largest interior projects in the country, a 127,000 m² office redesign. This experience exposed me to the scale and complexity of large workplace environments, where efficiency, functionality, and user experience were paramount. I was deeply involved in office-based design, collaborating closely with the team to develop layouts, material palettes, and detailed plans that balanced productivity with aesthetics. The project strengthened my skills in spatial planning, coordination, and problem-solving at scale, and gave me invaluable insight into managing large, multi-faceted commercial projects while maintaining design integrity.

My first professional experience was as a Junior Interior Architect at Stefan Antoni Architects, one of the world’s leading design firms. During this time, I was immersed in high-profile residential and commercial projects, where I contributed to both conceptual presentations and Revit modelling. It was an invaluable learning environment that allowed me to develop a strong foundation in interior architecture, from translating design ideas into detailed digital models to refining presentation skills for client reviews. I also undertook additional Revit training, which strengthened my technical proficiency and helped me work more efficiently within a collaborative team. This experience gave me not only technical skills but also confidence in communicating design ideas and collaborating with senior architects and clients.
