Emily Little

Twice named Austin’s Best Architect by the Austin Chronicle, Emily LIttle is an expert in historic preservation, whose work has indelibly colored the fabric of her native Austin. She was named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in recognition of her significant and influential achievements. In addition to preservation work and consistently mindful new construction, her portfolio includes resident additions, historic renovations, and commercial adaptive re-use--projects that demonstrate her ability to coax dynamic new spaces from worn and tired ones, reframing their honest humanity within the existing context.

Emily Little infuses her designs with the lives and circumstances that surround each project, intertwining them with design and function. A cultural anthropologist at heart, she has built her career on making good design accessible and attainable, often by finding the small gestures that pay large dividends in improving the quality of a space.
