Barbara is a Senior Designer & Architect. She joined New Practice in 2022.

Prior to joining the practice, Barbara achieved a Bachelor Degree at the Roma Tre University in Rome, Italy, and completed her Master in Advanced Architectural Design at University of Strathclyde in Glasgow

Barbara worked for Riach Partnership on a variety of projects between 2019 and 2022 where her principal workload included repairs and improvements to existing buildings and design and delivery of new build housing. Before that she worked with The Pollokshields Trust as Project Co-ordinator for The Bowling Green, a community-led design project in East Pollokshields, Glasgow.

Barbara brings to New Practice diverse experience ranging from rehabilitation and improvements to traditional pre-1919 tenements to community-led design projects. As a Senior Designer, Barbara’s skills extend to an understanding of the building process having followed a variety of projects from inception to completion - understanding of working with public organisations such as Housing Associations. She has planned and delivered local rehabilitation projects in Glasgow, developing an awareness of the challenges designers meet when modernising buildings by current requirements. 

Since joining New Practice she has supported the team to take a number of projects on site and through RIBA Stages 4-6. In addition, she is also collaborating with other architects and designers to deliver a number of urban design studies (Carluke Town Centre) and community engagement programmes relating to large scale masterplans (Falkirk Wheel: Net Zero).
