EMMA MCGUINNESS (OWNER)
BSC (HONS) ARCHTIECTURAL TECHNOLOGY
With nearly two decades of dedication to the housing sector, my journey began within the walls of a local housing association, igniting my fascination with house building and architecture.
Driven by an appetite for knowledge and a quest of self-improvement, I committed myself to a full-time pursuit of architectural studies at university.
From navigating the work within nationwide surveying to immersing myself in the dynamic environment of local authorities and private practices, each experience served as a cornerstone in sculpting my expertise. With every project undertaken, I gained invaluable insights, honed my skills, and expanded my creative horizons.
In November 2021, I took the leap into entrepreneurship, establishing my own architectural practice. Witnessing its growth from a solo endeavour to now having two part-time members on board has been an incredibly rewarding journey. Together, we are committed to translating visions into tangible structures that reflect innovation and functionality.
Beyond the drafting table, I am a fervent traveller. My fascination with different cultures goes hand in hand with my architectural pursuits, as I believe understanding cultural nuances is key to creating spaces that resonate with their inhabitants.
In my leisure time, you’ll find me immersed in the work of music, playing the piano to unwind. The theatre is another avenue where I find inspiration and joy.
