Ola is an Associate at JTP, having joined the practice after graduating in Architecture and Urban Planning from Wrocław University of Science and Technology in Poland. She has broad experience in the design and delivery of residential-led neighbourhoods of varying scales, including new-build developments, conversions and alterations. The wide range of projects she has been involved in, both at preliminary and detailed design stages, has allowed her to develop her skills and become an integral member of the practice.
Ola specialises in low to medium-density housing schemes, particularly landscape-led developments where open space, biodiversity, and nature recovery are integral to creating high-quality places. She has a strong understanding of housing design and has explored higher-density house typologies that can diversify residential offers on larger schemes, supporting affordability and providing attractive options for first-time buyers and downsizers.
She has led a number of Detailed Planning Applications for projects outside London, including a phase of the Northern Arc in Burgess Hill, delivering a new neighbourhood of 270 homes within the eastern area of the wider development. Ola has also led a project in Hillsbrow, Redhill, where challenging topography and mature trees required a sensitive design response, and has played a key role in delivering a new neighbourhood of over 300 homes on the edge of Tonbridge, inspired by Kentish vernacular architecture and closely connected to the surrounding landscape.
Another of Ola’s recent projects includes three sites in Easebourne, which respect the unique built and natural environment of the village and South Downs National Park, and the Maritime Academy, Warsash, where the site will be transformed with a residential proposal for new homes, including the retention and sympathetic conversion of two of the existing buildings on site which are both Grade II. Finally, on the list of successful planning submissions, there is also Oaks Farm and Harris Scrapyard, a brownfield site located in Nutbourne, Chichester, with 103 new homes, a children’s nursery, and linear park along Ham Brook, that anticipates an impressive biodiversity net gain increase of over 27%.
Outside the studio, Ola enjoys photography, sketching, and oil painting and is a regular visitor to theatres and galleries.
