ABOUT
About Mint Architecture
Mint Architecture is a friendly RIBA Chartered architectural practice based in Harpenden, led by Mint Findlay. I design thoughtful, well-crafted family homes in Harpenden and the surrounding areas.
Mint is a fully qualified RIBA, RIAS and ARB Chartered Architect and a graduate of the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. Before establishing her own practice, she worked with award-winning firms in Edinburgh, Melbourne and London on a wide range of projects, from rural barn conversions and contemporary extensions to large education buildings as project architect.
Today, Mint Architecture specialises in family homes, helping homeowners reshape, extend and improve their houses so they work better for everyday life. Mint personally leads every project, working closely with clients to understand how they live, what they need, and how their home can best support them now and in the future.
The practice delivers whole-house remodelling, extensions, refurbishments and occasional new builds. Designs are developed from the inside out and outside in, so that space planning, storage, circulation and daily routines are considered just as carefully as light, proportion, materials and architectural character.
Alongside design, Mint has a growing specialism in retrofit and sustainable improvement. In 2026 she qualified as a PAS 2035 Retrofit Designer, a nationally recognised qualification focused on upgrading existing homes to be warmer, healthier and more energy-efficient.
Mint lives in Harpenden with her husband, their three children and their border terrier. She has personally developed several properties and carried out phased renovations in her own homes — which gives her a practical understanding of budgets, disruption, and how homes really evolve over time.
