Overview

  • Magali Régis is a New York-based architect who was born and attended primary school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, middle and high school in Rome, Italy, followed by a move to New York where she studied architecture at Pratt Institute.

    As a world traveler, the cosmopolitan character of New York suited her and she decided to make it her home. She has been practicing architecture for the past 25 years, working at a variety of firms, both large and small, including JGArchitects, Karl Fisher Architects, Beyer Blinder Belle Architects, Kohn Pedersen Fox Interior Architects & Meridian Design to name a few, as well as holding her own private practice, e_space design.

    Her experience includes historic preservation, adaptive reuse, civic buildings, public schools and colleges, high-end residential, retail, hotels and corporate interiors.

    Magali is co-founder of The Haiti Initiative for Building Innovative & Sustainable Communities (HIBISCUS), a multidisciplinary team of architects, engineers, planners and professionals in related fields from Haiti and its global diaspora, formed as a result of the earthquake of January 12, 2010.

    Magali is also a community gardener and green space activist, working for the past 15 years to preserve New York’s communal green spaces from looming development.
