SABO Works is a South London-based architectural, cultural and research practice founded by Sarah Osei, rooted in lived experiences, multiculturalism and social justice.
As the practice’s name translates, SABO Works’ approach to architecture is something new. We interpret building as an interdisciplinary discipline working with the place’s normalities, materials, languages, cultures and climates before an intervention is suggested.
‘SABO, pronounced [saa-boh], is derived from the Hausa language and means “something new.”
Sarah Osei BArch (Ravensbourne University London), MArch (Central Saint Martins) is trained in Architecture and Spatial Practice, working in the intersections of ethnography, climate justice, facilitation, policy, architecture and built work through lenses and methodologies of the diaspora. Her work is site-specific, amplifying the lesser-heard dialogues of the capital as a means towards celebrating them. She is a spatial practitioner, architectural assistant, writer, cultural producer and researcher, with projects ranging from public realm, housing, written work, cultural buildings, workshops, post-occupancy sessions and curation.
Sarah holds an advisory role on the Old Kent Road community review panel, is a MullenLowe NOVA Award nominee, Central Saint Martins Spatial Practices Climate Care Award winner, co-founder of Sounding: and is a recipient of the Karakusevic Carson Architects’ Ledbury Bursary.
