Georgia Mactaggart
Founder and Principal
Georgia founded Office of May in May 2024 (hence the name)
to address Australia’s housing crisis through prefabricated construction, delivering faster, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions. Passionate about tackling inefficiencies and reducing construction waste—responsible for 40% of landfill—her work combines innovation and artistry.
​
Originally from Toowoomba, Queensland, Georgia holds a Master of Architecture from Bond University and a Bachelor of Architecture with Distinction from RMIT, where she graduated in the top 2% and earned the Vice Chancellor’s Award. She honed her skills at leading firms, including Those Architects in Sydney. Her designs reflect a deep respect for community, nature, and challenging norms, earning accolades like the Pop-Fink Fine Art Scholarship and
Ruth White Art Prize.
With over 15 years of experience, Emma brings a global perspective shaped by her work in San Francisco, New York City, and Sydney, as well as her current role as Design Lead at Butterwood. Her Queensland upbringing, rooted in Toowoomba and Brisbane, inspires her designs that harmonise nature and lifestyle.
​
Emma’s thoughtful approach ensures every project enhances its environment and users’ lives. Recently, her project ‘Goodhope’ at Those Architects was shortlisted for the NSW Architecture Awards. Now based in Brisbane, Emma combines technical expertise with a commitment to meaningful design.
