Ahmad Mohammed Named
RIBA Rising Star 2026


Congratulations to our very own Ahmad Mohammed, who has been named one of RIBA’s Rising Stars for 2026.

The annual accolade celebrates 10 early-career professionals who demonstrate outstanding leadership, original thinking and collaborative impact across the built environment.

Ahmad was recognised for championing modern methods of construction (MMC) in the commercial sector as project lead for Kellstone, alongside his work in education, leading two buildings at Leeds City College’s Mabgate Campus. The judges praised his “commitment to distinctive new buildings, such as Kellstone, that are at the same time demonstrably human centred and well-integrated in large redevelopments”.

We are incredibly proud to see Ahmad recognised among this year’s cohort of emerging leaders and look forward to seeing what he achieves next!
