Catalina joined Peregrine Bryant Architects in 2019 after completing her BArch at the University of Westminster, including a semester at the University of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing. She is now enrolled in the Level 7 Architect Apprenticeship at the University of Bath and recently completed her RIBA Part 2 studies receiving her MArch diploma with Upper Second-Class Honours. Studying through an apprenticeship allowed her to continue work at the practice whilst completing her studies. She has now started working towards gaining her Part 3 diploma which she will complete in 2026.

Within the practice, Catalina has worked on various projects involving listed buildings, including a new built extension for Stationer’s Hall, (Grade I), and restoration works at Royal Hospital Chelsea Stable Block (Grade II*). She has been a key component in the team, supporting the lead architect of each project and ensuring there is good communication between all consultants, which she considers key to a successful project. Catalina brings a passion for conservation and historical buildings, as well as a critical perspective on how the built environment can affect well-being and experience. Catalina has helped bring debate about sustainability into the practice and is responsible for organising in house CPDs.
