DESIGN RESEARCH, RURAL ROOMS The project documented a series of outdoor ‘rural rooms’ or spaces remembered from childhood. Six 3 x 6 metre spaces were documented through drawing at scale 1:50 and placed in context using models at scale 1:500. These models could be brought together as a ‘constructed’ landscape remembered from childhood in an attempt to encapsulate my experience of Fossoway as a place.

Residence Plan

Currently the project looked to establish a new centre for EPM on a Royal Mile gap site between the historic Carubbers and North Greys closes. The scheme retained a 16th century town house and bishop’s palace, whilst establishing an adaptable contemporary civic building on the royal mile.

BUILDING - INTEPRATATIVE CENTRE FOR THE OCHILLS Canrbo Stewart and East Side are a collection of historic agricultural buildings in Kinross-shire dating from the medieval period to the industrial revolution. The project seeks to bring together local historic structures, landscape features and a need for an Ochill Landscape Centre through a flexible contemporary addition to the historic Carnbo Stewart Steading.

LANDSCAPE, OLD FOSSOWAY The above study is an investigation into the former cart road or High Road across Old Fossoway in kinross-shire. The now fragmented track was formerly an axis of communication between farm steadings and settlement to quarries, mills and parish church. Today the track is by passed by the A91 but could it provide an axis for modern residential development ? cnc contour model, red pine

BETWEEN THINKING AND MAKING CHARETTE Dundee institute of Architects sponsored a 3 day charrette based on a 20m cubed space. The Brief was to accommodate a variety of gallery spaces and consider different lighting conditions and materials. The design was based on 2 offset overlapping cubes intersecting with a central whole cube to form a central gallery space.

Model development

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Orbital House, Medlars, East Grinstead The project brief was for fully accessible circular home sited in the historic gardens of Oasted House and monastery. Pre application consultation restricted the form of the building to a circle due to on-look constraints. The circular form of the building also referenced historic earth works on the site from a walled garden.
