BAS, M.Arch., OAA
Emira is an Associate and an OAA licensed Architect at LGA. Since entering the profession in 2004 she has been striving to create buildings that not only inspire, but that make a direct and positive impact on the communities that they serve. Driven by a commitment to social good, her portfolio includes numerous award-winning cultural, educational, and community projects such as affordable housing. She currently leads a team working on the renovation of a 75,000 sq ft care facility that will include supportive housing, a shelter, as well as rehabilitation spaces. Prior to joining LGA Architectural Partners she worked with G. Bruce Stratton Architects on various community projects including the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Design Excellence Award-winning Mount Dennis Public Library.
Beyond her work with LGA, Emira teaches architecture at the University of OCAD as a sessional faculty member where she has been sharing her expertise since 2021. In 2024, Emira became an executive board member of Building Equality in Architecture (BEA) Toronto chapter, an organization that advocates for equity and diversity and is committed to creating systemic change within the architectural industry.
When she is not designing buildings, teaching architecture or advocating for change, Emira enjoys building furniture, ceramics, and art objects. She has also written and illustrated three children’s books.
