Leo joined Orms in 2024, bringing experience from established practices including Maccreanor Lavington and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. His portfolio encompasses large-scale masterplanning, mixed-use developments and educational facilities, with particular expertise in residential design. Having completed his studies at the University of Bath, he contributed to the profession through mentoring at the Accelerate programme by Open City and the People's Pavilion initiative.

What does ultrapractical mean to you? Ultrapractical architecture requires balancing design ambition with deliverable solutions. At Orms, I'm excited to contribute to designs that address complex briefs by drawing on collective experience while adapting to evolving environmental and social contexts. This approach combines rigorous technical knowledge with responsive design thinking to create architecture that is both innovative and enduring.
