Joe joined Orms in 2024, bringing experience from practice and academic environments. A Manchester School of Architecture graduate, he previously worked as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant at Square Feet Architects, gaining experience across all RIBA work stages. Joe's time at a small Marylebone practice developed his agility and independence, working on projects from feasibility studies to detailed design of residential and commercial spaces.
His technical proficiency is complemented by strong graphic and design abilities. His background in client management roles has honed excellent interpersonal skills, while participation in challenging sporting events including the Devizes to Westminster Canoe Marathon demonstrates his resilience and teamwork capabilities.
What does ultrapractical mean to you? Ultrapractical architecture requires balancing creative thinking with realistic implementation. My experience working across various project stages has shown me the importance of designing with both vision and pragmatism. At Orms, I'm excited to contribute to a practice that approaches complex briefs by drawing on collective experience while remaining open to innovative solutions. Through careful attention to context and genuine collaboration, we can create architecture that responds intelligently to environmental and social challenges while delivering spaces that genuinely serve the people who use them.
