october 2022

winner of a one day student architecture competition, ran by the aia in london. working in a small team, we created a “west end wonderland”; transforming a small cobbled crescent of london’s west end into a new hybrid space, which could act as both a water fountain or a small performance space.

civic laboaratories of change

nottingham cycle centre

meadow lane lock, nottingham

a chord of connection

nottingham cycle hub aims too create a new chord and place of connection for the wider city of nottingham. exploring the site through a fluid chord and undulating structures, the idea of a dynamic spaces for people to visit and travel through is created.

celebrating the past, whilst building the future

this aim for this project is to celebrate nottingham’s cycling heritage within its museum and archive facilities. these facilities are then built upon with spaces for quick bike repairs, and classes teaching the importance of self repair, rather than purchasing and buying new.

museum of the whale transformer

new way ghaut, whitby

the essence of the ocean

inspired with the movement and forms of the ocean, the museum of the whale aims to adapt an existing listed building of whitby’s rowing club, and transform the spaces into a new museum. a new steel and glass structure has been creating a permanent encapsulation of a wave hitting the walls of whitby harbour.

exploration of ai

within this project, was an exploration of ai, as a device that can be used to iterate, through the use of quick rendering, which proved to be a useful tool in exploring materiality and chaotic forms. ai was also used to help generate renders exploring the idea of the movement of the ocean and water crashing in on the user.

st philips marsh, bristol

masterplanning

part of creating a redeveloped area for bristol involved master planning in line with the principles presented in the book soft city. in particular a large area of development was placed in exploring how a new area can be curated for pedestrians, as well as how the safe and pleasant spaces are created through smart urban planning.

urban housing

further developing the lessons of soft city, urban housing focuses on creating a large residency with a large focus on creating different atmospheres within private and public areas. inspired heavily by the “hundertwasserhaus” in vienna this design is a way of keeping the public street areas well lit and safe below, whilst still allowing residents to feel a sense of privacy

a softer city sites of hybridity

urban farm

the growth of nine twins

high pavement, nottingham

growing nottinghamshire

through growing the produced of the nine cities and towns twinned with nottingham from around the world this urban farm not only provides a series of unique farming produce and environment, but also symbolically represents nottingham’s place in the wider world. consisting of farming facilities on three levels with a small residency atop, this structure manages to blend seamlessly into the nottinghamshire landscape and creates a new attraction for the cities centre.

habitat

posenenske house

arbouretum, nottingham

habitat for an artist

inspired by the artwork of charlotte posenenske, this home is designed to be a true encapsulation of the style of work she has produced throughout her career. this house, is inspired by her industrial minimalist sculptures, with an architectural focus on utilising light strategically to give each space its own atmosphere, based off the purpose of the space.
