Tershia Habbitts

With over 20 years of diverse, cross-sector experience, Tershia Habbitts is a seasoned Associate Principal at Studio STH, currently focused on leading major health projects. Her architectural journey has taken her across the globe, from South Africa to the US, The Netherlands, and Australia, shaping her unique perspective on design.

Tershia’s approach to architecture centres around creating designs that are deeply reflective of place and community. She believes that clarity in design—shaping spaces that connect with people’s lives and precincts—is crucial to meaningful architecture. Passionate about sustainable and human-centered design, Tershia strives to challenge the status quo and produce work that enhances the environment rather than imposing upon it. What drives her most is the impact of architecture on end-users and communities. Tershia's commitment to thoughtful, responsible design is matched by her collaborative nature, which she finds echoed in the culture at Studio STH.
