An ARB Architect specialising in residential architecture, Magdalena Haener is a highly commended professional with a wealth of great projects behind her and has been singled out for her creative approach to house reconfigurations and extensions in the Manchester area. Most notably, it is worth mentioning that she had done more than 500 design workshops since her career continued with Pride Road.

Magda Haener is an architect who puts people first. Clients often say that she makes the design process feel calm and enjoyable, because she listens closely and takes time to understand how they live. With more than six hundred design workshops behind her, Magda has helped families across South Manchester transform homes that feel cramped or confusing into spaces that work beautifully day to day.

Her strength lies in spotting thoughtful, practical changes that make life simpler. Whether she is reconfiguring a kitchen, opening up a ground floor or reimagining an entire layout, Magda guides clients gently through their options and explains everything in clear, accessible language. She believes every home should feel like a sanctuary, and she works with you to create a layout that supports your routines, your family and your future.

Alongside her residential work, Magda has contributed to community projects including the Field of Os Pocket Park in Chorlton, community kitchens and a meditation space in the USA. She has also supported clients remotely in Paris, Poland, Greece, the USA and Morocco. Her interest in co-housing comes from personal experience and a lifelong belief in homes that bring people together.

Magda began her career in 2004 and has worked across Poland, Moscow and the UK. She founded her own practice, 108 Architects, in 2012 before joining Lisa Raynes in 2016 to lead Pride Road Manchester South. She holds a Master of Architecture from Wrocław University of Science and Technology and is registered in both Poland and the UK. Magda speaks Polish, Russian and some German, is a practising Buddhist and a proud mum of two. She loves hiking, travelling and spending time with friends, and hopes to return to the Longford Park Ladies Football Team once her injury heals.
