Master’s in Architecture
Anna Higgisson
Architectural Assistant
Anna earned her Master’s in Architecture with Distinction from University College Cork, Ireland. Her final thesis was shortlisted for the EU Mies Awards Young Talent 2025 and exhibited at the Venice Biennale.
Before joining the studio in 2025, Anna worked in Ireland, Edinburgh, and New York, gaining experience across a wide range of residential, commercial, and institutional projects.
She also worked as a university researcher on an EU Green Deal-affiliated initiative, where she explored circular design principles, deepening her passion for sustainability in the built environment.
Since joining the team, Anna has contributed to projects both in Scotland and the Caribbean, and is enjoying learning from her colleagues and continuing to grow as an architect.
Away from the desk, Anna enjoys live music, yoga, and braving the cold waters for a sea swim whenever she can.
