Katerina joined Orms in 2023, bringing an international perspective shaped by her education and practice across Europe. With a Masters in Architecture Engineering with distinction from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, enhanced by an Erasmus exchange at Politechnico di Milano, she further specialised with an MA in Architecture and Historic Urban Environments from The Bartlett UCL. Her experience spans multiple sectors including commercial workplace, education, culture and industrial design.
What does ultrapractical mean to you? Ultrapractical architecture transforms theoretical excellence into tangible outcomes through collaborative problem-solving. Working across diverse projects at Orms—preparing client presentations and coordinating with consultants on Southwark Bridge Road's office refurbishment while reviewing subcontractor information and conducting site visits for Wells House on Oxford Street—builds on my previous delivery of a completed Car Manufacturing Headquarters. This practical approach bridges design intent and built reality, creating architecture that elegantly resolves complex requirements through attention to detail and technical rigour.
