Precedents and Materials
Inspired by the arches of Queen’s Hotel Edwardian architecture I chose to use them as a key feature in my design.
For the exterior and interior walls I chose concrete as the material due to its use in the surrounding buildings.
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House, I chose a creamy beige concrete for both the outside and the inside.
The beige will allow for light to reflect from the walls and create a warm ambience. 1:20

HILSEA LINES PROJECT
A 2nd year project
A project directed at the community of the North of Portsmouth in hopes of repopulating the area. Focused around the Hilsea Lines Park, we were asked to create a wayfinder to make the park more interesting and a pavilion to accomodate creative workshops and park rangers.
Software Used: Revit, Photoshop, Indesign

The purpose of this brief was to attract people to the North of Portsmouth.
The Hilsea Lines Project is a community project happening in real life. The opportunity to work together with the community of Portsmouth, in particular Casemates Studios and Seekers, was wonderful and added a lot of life to the project.

For this project we had to take the whole park into account and come up with not only a Pavillion but also a wayfinder that would help guide people.
The wayfinder was based on a photoshoot I did with my friends at the site. My idea was a series of statues spread across the site in playful poses holding an umbrella.

MAKERS PROJECT
A 1st year project

For my first year final project we were asked to design a space for artists in one of the busiest streets of Portsmouth, Albert Road. The building had to include a café, a gallery and a workshop. A compulsory component was a double-height space.
All plans were hand-drawn.

Cross Section
For this project, the site was quite narrow 5.4m wide and 20m long. The Sections showcase the light entryways and the activities that would take place.

Angled Section
Axonomteric Explosion
Both drawings were made in sketchup, and later traced over by hand. The Angled Section was also rendered by hand.
Final Model
For this final model, a site model had to be made in a group, and it had to contain a clay element.
My team and I chose to use a very thin layer of clay over foam blocks we had shaped as the surrounding buildings. We then proceeded to lay them out on a concrete plate made from a mould we modeled based on the site.
