ABOUT

---

  Sally Odell is a graduate architect with over 20 years of experience in both residential and commercial projects. 

With a deep passion for creating thoughtful, people-focused spaces, Sally enjoys collaborating with clients, consultants, and builders 

to deliver designs that are site-responsive, environmentally-sensitive and life-enhancing.

A graduate of the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture (2003), Sally began her career as an architectural student at Kylie Makins Architect in Avalon. She went on to complete her Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), and in 2006, joined Daryl Jackson Robin Dyke Architects in Chippendale as a new graduate. During this time, she also founded SMO Design to take on private projects. In 2014, Sally and her family moved to Shellharbour, marking their first step into regional living. After reconnecting with former colleague Siobhan Berkery, Sally joined Myson + Berkery Architects in Culburra Beach. A recent move to Bathurst in 2023 led to the re-establishment of SMO Design, with current projects spanning the Central West, Sydney, and Wagga Wagga regions.

SMO Design offers a range of architectural design services including feasibility studies, concept design, Development Application (DA) drawings, SEEs, and SOHIs, Construction Certificate (CC) documentation, interior layouts and fitouts, consultant coordination, builder liaison, 3D renders, and shadow diagrams.

In her spare time, Sally enjoys hanging out with her family and friends and spending time in the outdoors. 

She also dabbles in amateur photography and art and is a member of a local art studio under the tuition of Karen James.
