A University of Bath graduate with a Central Saint Martins foundation in 3D Design, she brings experience in refurbishment, master-planning, and careful detail design. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Catalan, Emma combines international perspective with local sensitivity. Her commitment to architectural education extends through RIBA mentoring participation and peer support for first-year Bath students.
What does ultrapractical mean to you? For me, being ultrapractical means recognising that the most beautiful architecture happens when big dreams meet careful attention to the smallest details. It's about understanding that every bold concept needs a clear path from sketch to reality. Ultrapractical design means listening carefully to what a space wants to become, then finding clever ways to make it happen. It's that moment when you realise the most elegant solution is often the simplest one, where form and function don't just coexist but actually strengthen one another.
