Diogo Real
Senior Architect

Diogo is experienced in urban mixed-use and housing-led regeneration projects. He is passionate about designing spaces that respond to the local topography and the needs of the surrounding community.

As a Senior Architect at HTA, Diogo has been collaborating with architecture, landscape and urban design teams both internally and externally to deliver high-profile residential developments of 500 to 1500 homes. To ensure the long-term success of our residential masterplans in providing lasting positive impact for local communities, Diogo conducts workshops with residents and community groups to integrate their design aspirations into proposals through co-design.

Prior to joining HTA, Diogo worked at Jan Kattein Architects leading community-based, urban development projects for local authority clients.

Alongside work in practice, Diogo tutors a vertical design studio at the University of Nottingham. This studio is dedicated to promoting socially and environmentally sustainable design, often exploring overlooked places and communities near water bodies across various UK cities. The studio encourages students to use different media, including drawings, collages, model making, and video to explore site context.
