She has a keen interest in the reuse of building materials, helping Orms to develop its well-earned reputation as specialists in the circular economy.

What does ultrapractical mean to you? I'm particularly interested in sustainable urban design and the complex interplay between politics, market forces and regulation that shapes our cities. For me, being ultrapractical means creating architecture that delivers real value to people, respects our planetary boundaries, and stands the test of time. At Orms, I value our reuse-first approach and our willingness to engage with the wider supply chain to find solutions that improve the sustainability of our industry. I also enjoy working on heritage-listed projects, which demonstrate how we can reimagine existing buildings to meet contemporary needs whilst respecting their heritage and reducing environmental impact.
