MIXED-USE
EASTERN ROAD
RESIDENTIAL EXTENSION
This project involved the construction of a modern, one-story rear extension. The client wanted to increase their living space within the constraints of their narrow and elongated plot. Taking the lead on the project, I collaborated closely with the client to develop a design aimed at optimising the use of the available area. To enhance the sense of spaciousness, I devised a design that seamlessly blended the interior and exterior environments.

NEW RESIDENTIAL DWELLING
This project involved the complete demolition of an existing structure to make way for a new development, characterized by a distinctive Georgian architectural style for a timeless aesthetic. My responsibilities encompassed assisting in the design development and compiling a comprehensive design pack. This package was essential for both client and contractor, guiding the construction process with detailed plans including demolition sequences and the layout of electrical, plumbing, heating, and drainage systems. Additionally, I provided complete construction drawings to ensure precision and adherence to the envisioned Georgian elegance throughout the build.

MANOR FARM HOUSING RESTORATION
This project entailed the meticulous restoration of a 19th-century historic residence, recognized for its cultural significance and listed under the local council. The main structure, alongside two adjacent barns, had deteriorated significantly, leaving them uninhabitable. Our approach was to seamlessly blend historical preservation with modern living requirements through a pavilion-style design. The restoration strategy involved selectively demolishing the deteriorated sections, while retaining and reinforcing the original architectural footprint. Key historical features were meticulously preserved and accentuated, ensuring they remained focal points in the renewed design. The overarching aim was to enhance the building’s historical character while introducing contemporary elements that maximized functionality and livability for the client. The reimagined space not only respects the essence of the original architecture but also optimizes the living areas to cater to modern needs, ensuring the property’s continued relevance and usability well into the future.

Working an Architectural Consultant in conjunction with Avalon Design, the brief was to convert Trenleigh House from a derelict three-storey building into seven premium duplex apartments, centred around a communal landscaped courtyard. Trenleigh House itself is situated in a prominent location within the affluent Moseley Village and is located within a conservation area. The intention of the project was to reflect the growing investment occurring in the vicinity and create a unique space, which emulated its wider surroundings.
