Emy Hussein is an Egyptian architect and artist whose work blurs the boundaries between art, architecture, and design. She is a Partner at Alchemy Group and founded Else Lab, one of Alchemy’s design studios, which explores the intersections of spatial analysis, form, and artistic expression.
By 2015, Emy and her partners launched Alchemy Architecture, a sub-brand under Alchemy Group, expanding its creative reach into architecture and bigger scale projects.
Her professional journey began in 2010 at Alchemy, where she quickly rose to prominence and became a Partner. Else Lab further reflects Emy’s vision, using design and art as tools to challenge conventional paradigms and explore “the formless” — ideas that transcend traditional material boundaries
Alongside her architectural career, Emy’s artistic practice has been shaped by notable mentorship and international experiences.
She studied under late artist Magd El Sagini, trained as an artist in Barcelona & Florence, and participated in several international workshops and conferences
Emy has showcased her work in several solo exhibitions in Cairo and contributed to prominent international group exhibitions and art fairs, reinforcing her presence in both the regional and global art scenes.

After she completed her Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture, Emy was granted a scholarship to complete her Master’s Degree at the University of Greenwich, London, with a thesis that was ranked first. In 2010, she started working in Alchemy Design Studio and eventually became one of the Art Directors.
By the end of 2015, Emy, along with the partners, established Alchemy Architecture, a sub-brand of Alchemy, besides launching her own design studio. Recently, Emy Hussein partnered up with Karim Mekhtigian and Mohamed Fares in Alchemy Group and founded the brand Else Lab, one of Alchemy’s sub-brands. Else Lab approaches design and art as a tool to disentangle the established codes of today, focusing on the points of intersection between architecture, art and spatial analysis.
Her work in art and architecture is related to questioning the idea of form and exploring the dimension beyond the material; that which she calls the ‘formless.’ Alongside her career as an architect, Emy studied art with the respectable artist Magd El Sagini. She also studied in Accademia D’Arte in Florence,
and in 2015, she took part in Metafora’s International Workshop in Barcelona, Spain. She also has had several solo art exhibitions in Cairo, Egypt.
