With a strong passion for beautiful and refined architecture through my designs I aim to provide a solution to the problems of the new century. As a designer excited with new opportunities to solve, I believe in principles that create an architecture of identity while also providing a timeless user experience. I have received NZIA praise with two Highly commended awards (for First and Second Year) and have b e e n i n c l u d e d i n t h e A r c h i t e c t u r e Fa c u l t i e s D e a n ’ s l i s t t w i c e . A r c h i t e c t s t h a t h a ve inspired and encouraged my passions are Antoni Gaudi, Kisho Kurokawa, Oscar Niemeyer, and New Zealand’s own Ian Athfield. Soon, I stand forward to create architecture memorable to New Zealand, following ideas such as Kaitiakitanga and the like. I aspire to do this by creating philosophical designs that will have a positive effect on climate change and the world of tomorrow. Thank you for taking a look at my portfolio.

“A vision of a post-apocalyptic dystopia – Pandemonium – provokes an architecture of existence in an alienated post-colonised world. Based on a narrative vaguely inspired by H. G. Wells, ‘War of the Worlds,’ Pandemonium is created by an exponentially growing alien weed, chiselling an architecture where humanity faces the consequences of their new visitors. Through following a selected and refined programme, terrifying chimneys are created by an overshadowing steel-concrete structure juxtaposed by an external crimson ivy.”

This assignment was inspired by an exaggerated termite mount. Third assignment for ARCI 311 Architecture Design II. At least 99% of this architecture was designed and tested through Grasshopper scripting.

Pandemonium received an A+ grade.
