Healing Apothecarist House and Studio
Behind the Church of St. Michaels in Laxton hosts a user-centred project featuring a house, guest house, and studio for an Apothecarist and assistant.
Set within a meditation labyrinth, this space becomes a focal point for the community, offering essential healing services and fostering connections for vulnerable members. Providing a singular path to town-wide recovery.
Final Landscaping Plan
By integrating the labyrinth into the design, the project seeks to enhance Laxton’s physical, meditative and communal well-being. Also achieved by flora choice to stimulate senses.

Showcase 360 Projection Classroom
In this innovative educational space, classrooms break free from tradition by immersing children in a 360-degree projection environment.
The focus shifts from individual screens to collective engagement, promoting collaboration and interactivity. This represents a bold step in redefining how children interact with educational content, fostering hands-on learning within a visually stimulating and technologically advanced environment. Section

Stacked Architecture Studio Extension
Our extension project for Loughborough University aims to house all three years of architecture students in an open and inclusive environment, fostering collaboration and embracing the “architect maker” ethos.
Inspired by the concept of joints, the design features interconnected spaces and flexible areas to promote cross-collaboration and innovation. By emphasizing transparency and fluidity, the extension encourages continuous interaction and knowledge sharing among students, reflecting Loughborough’s commitment to versatility and community-driven learning.
