Eugenie Dorothy Hughes, MBE, FRIBA (26 June 1910 – 16 August 1987) was a Kenyan architect, politician, social reformer and disability activist.

[7] She opened an architectural firm, Hughes and Polkinghorne, designing such structures as the Golden Beach Hotel,[8] Murangi House, the Princess Elizabeth Hospital, the Rift Valley Sports Club,[9] and St. Mary's School, Nairobi, among many others.

After the loss of the election, Hughes turned her sights to community social welfare projects such as the Cheshire Homes for the disabled.

[13] In the late 1960s, she designed an annex to the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) which held a popular flying saucer-shaped nightclub known for its local benga music, as well as Afro-Caribbean calypso and soukous rhythms.

[5] The club, located in the red-light district of Nairobi on Koinange Street,[14] went through various name changes[5] but was locally known as the F1, Madhouse, or Maddi, until its 2014 demolition.

[16] She died on 16 August 1987 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England[17] and was buried in St. Austin's Cemetery, Mũthangari, Nairobi, Kenya.
