Kieran joined Orms in 2025 after obtaining an MArch degree with distinction from the Bartlett School of Architecture, where he pursued his interests in computational design and digital fabrication. Prior to that, he spent 2+ years at NBBJ Architects developing complex life sciences projects across Oxford, focusing on facade design and technical coordination. At Kent, he received academic excellence scholarships throughout his studies and was nominated for the RIBA West Kent Branch Prize.
What does ultrapractical mean to you?
To me, ultrapractical is about being resourceful and responsible, designing sustainably to create architecture that brings lasting public benefit beyond trends. I combine digital tools with a strong understanding of materials to achieve a level of craftsmanship that’s both technically rigorous and beautifully resolved. In my design process, I value adaptability, using visualisation and iteration to explore ideas and refine them into thoughtful, buildable solutions.
