emma@hapticarchitects.comEmma joined Haptic’s London office in 2022. She aspires to create crafted, carefully considered and contextual design solutions which spark joy in the end user. She believes in a holistic approach to sustainable design incorporating environmental, social and economic values into the design process from first principles. She enjoys the collaborative nature of design and brings energy and enthusiasm to the team, always seeking to learn something new from each project.
Emma is a qualified Architect with extensive experience across a variety of scales and sectors including residential, conservation and regeneration, education and masterplanning from conception to detailed design. Recently she was Project Architect on schemes for new social housing in Greenwich, a new high school campus for the British School of Bahrain and Gray’s Inn Road, a deep retrofit of an office building in the Bloomsbury Conservation Area of Camden.
Emma is actively involved in Haptic’s in-house social value working group. She enjoys participating in Open City’s Young City Makers programme which pairs primary schools with architecture practices for hands-on learning about the built environment. As a Haptic Green advocate, she promotes best practice in sustainable design across her live projects. She recently presented Gray’s Inn Road at the Footprint+ 2025 conference in London. She is also aiming to become a certified Passivehouse professional in the coming year.
