Emma Wiggins - BA (Hons) DipArch, AABC, RIBA SCA
Emma joined the office in 2014, bringing with her varied experience across a wide range of sectors. Her projects range from pure conservation, such as repairs and reroofing works at Wells Cathedral, to working on successful planning applications for new build design within sensitive settings, including Blenheim Palace.
At her previous practice, Purcell, projects included a new visitor centre in Christ Church Meadows, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford. She is a member of the 'RIBA Oxford Women Architects Group'.
As a RIBA Specialist Conservation Architect (SCA) and an Architect Accredited in Building Conservation she sat on the 2018 judging panel for the RIBA South Regional Awards as nominated conservation expert.
Emma is particularly interested in the challenge of introducing new design within the context of historic buildings, being mindful of the past whilst working to meet the demands of an ever-evolving present. Her enjoyment of free hand drawing is a useful tool in the design process, as well as her interest in architectural and family photography.
