Hannah Cheetham

Working on Awabakal land, Hannah holds a Master of Architecture and has an extensive and varied background in the construction and fabrication industries. Hannah’s practice ‘Built In-Kind’ is deeply informed by a need to explore solutions to both societal and environmental stressors experienced when living in a world in the throes of a changing climate, and a society of unequal social privileges. 

Hannah applies architecture as a solutions-focused creative discipline, which transcends the familiar field of building design. Rather, her practice in architecture and design explores opportunities for socio-cultural, spatial, environmental and experiential interventions which can connect community to their built, natural and cultural landscapes. 

Built In-Kind as a practice is a synthesis of architectural design, workshop and fabrication education, story exploration, material recovery and community development. Hannah partners with various government and non-government organisations to host tool, timber and sculptural fabrication workshops - further empowering diverse community, particularly women and cohorts that experience marginalisation in the creative/fabrication fields.
