EMMA MCGUINNESS (OWNER)
BSC (HONS) ARCHTIECTURAL TECHNOLOGY

Emma McGinness Headshot

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.

Since joining MCE architectural services, Zhiyao has worked extensively on housing projects. She helps with site surveying and drawing up plans and sections. With her modelling and rendering skills, she also visualises new housing projects in three dimensions so as to deliver real-life atmosphere to the clients.   

 

Zhiyao graduated with her Bachelor in Architecture at the University of Sheffield in 2022. She is studying her master of MSc Advanced Sustainable Design at the University of Edinburgh at the moment. With extensive interest in sustainable architecture, she challenges the existing architectural agenda and puts sustainable theory into architectural practice with a new perspective.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with MCE for the design of our extension and I cannot speak highly enough of the service they provided. From the initial inquiry to the final approval the process was straightforward and hassle free.

The standout features were the firm's responsiveness to our questions and concerns. They were quick to address any inquiries we had, providing clear answers that helped us feel confident in the decisions being made.

I would highly recommend their services to anyone in search of top-notch architectural design.."
