What does ultrapractical mean to you?
Ultrapractical architecture emerges when design vision meets technical ingenuity. Throughout my career delivering complex projects, I've learned that successful buildings balance ambitious design with practical implementation. At Orms, I aim to combine my experience in detailed coordination with collaborative problem-solving to create architecture that is both innovative and buildable. By integrating sustainable strategies with thoughtful technical solutions, we can develop projects that respond intelligently to complex briefs while maintaining design integrity.
