Ivana is an Architect and Urban Designer with extensive experience in residential-led, mixed-use communities and large-scale strategic sites in the UK and internationally. She has particular expertise in masterplanning, outline planning applications, visioning and the development of design codes for urban extensions, new neighbourhoods, and settlements, alongside a focus on delivering people-focussed places.
A passionate advocate for placemaking, Ivana has previously delivered significant projects at JTP. Her contribution to the profession has also been recognised on several occasions, including being shortlisted for RIBA Rising Stars 2020 and in the Emerging Architect of the Year category at the Female Frontier Awards 2021.
Marcus Adams, Managing Partner at JTP, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ivana back to JTP. Having started her career with us over a decade ago, she understands our ethos and culture, and has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, leadership, and a genuine passion for designing great places. Her return further strengthens our team, and we look forward to the creativity and expertise she will bring to our projects.”
Ivana added, “I’m thrilled to be returning to JTP, a practice I’ve always admired for its focus on people and place. I am especially passionate about masterplanning and the creation of fair and inclusive environments that enhance daily life and foster a sense of belonging. Well-designed places can connect neighbours, support health and wellbeing, and provide spaces where people feel safe, valued, and inspired. For me, good design is about much more than buildings – it’s about shaping communities that can truly thrive.”
We are pleased to welcome Ivana back to JTP and look forward to her continued contribution to the practice’s work in shaping distinctive and vibrant communities.
