Evie joined Orms in 2018 after completing her architectural studies at the University of Greenwich, where her master’s project—an exploration and celebration of English rural culture and traditions—was nominated for the prestigious RIBA Silver Medal. Her academic work demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of the tension between economic development and environmental conservation, themes that continue to inform her approach to practice.
At Orms, Evie is currently working on 75 London Wall, a significant refurbishment and extension project in the City of London. She leads the design of the basement end-of-trip facilities contributing to the building's sustainability credentials and occupant wellbeing strategy. Beyond project work, Evie is an active member of the EOC, reflecting her commitment to collaborative practice.

At Orms, I value our approach of retaining and repurposing existing buildings, as exemplified at 75 London Wall. By enhancing public realm connections and introducing facilities that support sustainable transport and wellbeing, we create architecture that serves both people and place
