BRECKENRIDGE, ASCOT

This site is located in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, within a TPO zone. Neighboring properties adhere to a traditional architectural style, which is why it was submitted for pre-planning.

I held sole responsibility for the design and presented numerous ideas to address the challenges posed by the clients’ varied aims and desires. The initial brief was a £700,000 refurbishment and development project with future sale prospects, but it evolved into a larger, new-build family home.

Once the scheme receives positive feedback from the planners, the design may undergo adjustments to accommodate the flexibility of a new build, as many of the design decisions where based on the existing footprint. All I produced all graphics and CGIs within this document.

LANTERN HOUSE, WELWYN

I began working on this project at RIBA Stage 5 during the contract signing, alongside the director who designed the new build property. It is a home for a young family of 5 situated in Hertfordshire within the greenbelt. My role primarily involved handling on-site queries, developing drawings from tender to construction, variations and Architects Instructions. I undertook valuations monthly and assessed the contractors’ claims for work.

I began working on this project at RIBA Stage 5 once the project had commenced on site, the original designer no longer works at Concept Eight Architects, and therefore I had sole responsibility of this project once it commenced on site.

SILVERTREES

The clients, a young family of four, commissioned the project, which involves the private residential refurbishment and extension of a property located in the Wentworth (WERC) estate within the greenbelt. The proposal comprises four levels of accommodation, with an estimated budget of £1.32 million.

I worked with the project architect during RIBA Stage 3 in the planning phase and later managed the tender process, acting as the technical designer during RIBA Stage 4. Due to the strict planning policies imposed by its greenbelt location, the client couldn’t obtain the same volume of new construction as they would with a new build. This challenge resulted in a complex technical pack, requiring extensive discussions with the structural engineer to develop a workable proposal.

Securing planning permission proved to be a challenge, prompting the appointment of a planning consultant to guide us through the process. Although we successfully obtained planning approvals, the design did not meet the estate’s requirements, which demanded a 3.5-meter setback from the boundary and is currently undergoing negotiations.

The design team is composed of an architect, structural engineer, arborist, planning consultant, and geotechnical consultant.

GROUND FLOOR FLAT DULWICH

Undertaken as a private project in 2020.I undertook the survey, drafted design and options and submitted a pre-planning application prior to the full planning submission, required for this ground floor flat situated in Dulwich, London. Numerous planning applications along Belvoir Road in Dulwich had been previously refused so I submitted the application for pre-planning to benefit from the local authorities feedback on the scheme.

This enabled me to make the design changes required to secure successful planning approval. I managed to exceed the streets case precedent of 3 metre extensions and secured approval for a depth of 3.8 metres.

The project is an extensive refurbishment project for a young family of four. The property is situated in Surrey and poses some challenges with protected trees on site,.

I have been engaged on this project since its inception at the end of 2020. I worked alongside the Project Architect to produce the site analysis and design options. The client chose my proposals for the extensive renovation and extension.

Following the grant of planning permission I lead the project solely during the technical design stage, with occasional oversight from the studios Director. I reviewed the tender returns and the project is currently on site. We were not retained as Contract Administrator, in order to help alleviate professional fees for the clients.
