What does ultrapractical mean to you? Ultrapractical architecture harnesses technical innovation to deliver exceptional built outcomes. Working on the 75 London Wall retrofit—where I'm responsible for ground and first floor facade packages—requires balancing heritage considerations with contemporary performance standards. My recent addition to Orms' masterclass team reflects my commitment to knowledge exchange and continuous improvement. Ultrapractical means leveraging digital tools like BIM, automation scripting and visualisation capabilities to solve complex problems efficiently while maintaining design integrity throughout the delivery process
