Konishi Gaffney Expands Team with Two New Members

We’re excited to welcome two new team members to Konishi Gaffney as we grow to take on larger, more ambitious projects across Scotland and beyond.

Mike joins us with over 15 years’ experience at design-led practices in Dublin. A first-class graduate of Dublin Institute of Technology, he has taught architecture at TU Dublin and is currently a studio tutor at the University of Edinburgh. Mike also served on the board of the Architectural Association of Ireland, including as President. His expertise brings real depth to our growing studio.

Eleanor (Els) recently completed her Master’s in Architecture with Distinction at Edinburgh University, following an undergraduate degree from The University of Bath. Her work explores low carbon materials, reuse and social sustainability, with experience in both domestic and healthcare architecture. She also received the Karla Roman Travel Bursary for her research on Japanese architecture–and knows a thing or two about great coffee, thanks to her time at Obadiah Coffee.
