I’ve always loved to play football, and even more so as part of a team, either on the weekends in a local league or in a five-a-side team on a week-night, count me in. Music Like many people, like to think can sing, and so I thought myself how play the guitar so I can perform with my “brothers” and for my friends. Art I enjoy drawing portraits in my free-time. Some says its relaxing, I disagree! Its the most stressful as I aim for perfection. But I still love to do it. Table Tennis

I have a strong passion and motivation to learn, I strive to carry out any task I am given to the best quality. This passion has lead me to work with a range of media, seeing me produce architecture through experimentation and iteration in form and programme. This also translate into other things I love to do; be it musically, artistically or in sport I approach them all enthusiastically and passionately Football

I came into architecture without any real knowledge about the discipline, and ‘I still definitely have a great deal to learn as i progresss’.
The following pages sit as an extention on my self, a collection of my work focused on Architecture, Art, Craft exploring ways to form closer relationships with one another and the natural world surrouding us. Enjoy the journey.
I feel abundantly blessed and grateful for the opportunities I’ve had; to produce some of the work I have over the years, and the projects I’ve been able to be a part of. A massive thank you to my “colleagues” and leaders at Hollaway for taking a chance on me and guiding me though as a Part I, also great gratitude to my lecturers and tutors at UCA for their guidance, challenges and lessons.
But that is my base mindset; “I know nothing” Therefore my passion to learn and throw myself into every new or old challenge can continuously burn. The following pages celebrate those opportunities and the hard but absolutely rewarding work I’ve been involved in so far, as they are the foundation I will need to build on as I progress in architecture.

The Petri-dish where art forms like grime began to emerge.
Manston mayhem wants to celebrate the ever changing and evolving culture of its young people, provide them with opportunities to use their raw forms of expressions not only for entertainment but for education, learn to create wealth form it; whether physical or spiritual, learn to share the wealth and distribute the lessons learnt from the process. Rethinking the archaic perceptions of what leisure and extra curricular activities are: being more that just playgrounds sports centre and challenge these generalised activities within wider masterplans.
MANSTON MAYHEM
Manton Mayhem brings to Thanet a new cultural centre that looks to provide its young people spaces to foster their creative talents though music, the performing arts and the culinary arts. Inbeded within a new large-scale development on and around Manston Airport, MM questions the provisions of meaningful infrastructure for young people and their ever changing and evolving culture.
Sonic Landscapes
Through the lens of our Sonic Landscapes studio, In Manston Mayhem Grime is highlighted as the urban culture for the new communities emergng on this re-imagined airport site; existing within the shadow of a council’s visions of economically focused growth, in a local district that is sometimes characterised for its high unemployment and poor educational skills and health.

CANVAS FOR DOVER House For DAD (Dover Arts Development)
In Collaboration with Harsha Vissapragada & Shandri Van Rooyen
CREATING WHILE ENGAGING//
Central to our ‘Canvas for Dover’ concept is the exhibition space and workshop surrounding a kiln. It is the heart of our proposed concept and the community engagement on site. Local residents are invited to explore the art and culture of Dover and add to it through the medium of ceramic. Clay and tile workshops are held within the exhibition space and then fired in the kiln before being added to the building itself.
At the heart of our house for DAD is a desire to create a sense of belonging and to help foster an interconnected community in Dover. Our house for DAD wears this desire on its sleeve, and will gradually become covered in community-made ceramic art as the years go by.
Our house for DAD (Dover Art Development) is built on the principle of engagement - with arts and culture, with each other, with the community, and with the building itself.
Inside and out, the building creates moments of interaction through its folding exterior, raised platforms and open studio workshops - each one a celebration of the process of ‘creating while engaging’.

The project follows the journey of a group of direct action activists, as the work to reclaim parts of the disused Coryton Refinery site for the non human world, beginning to imagine how a sustainable and ecologically minded community could emerge around HoleHaven Creek transforming the disused Jetty in to an Inhabited Bridge.
i) The bridge and Landscape as a site For Ecological Protest and repossession by the natural world.
ii) The Bridge as Landscape as a place of energy production and community.
In analysing and understanding the site, found recurring theme of industrial scaring of natural landscape on both the northern and southern sides of the River Thames. Yet these were lands that still manage to thrive and survive hosting some of the rearest birds’ plants and insect found across the Thecounty.thesis focus is then drawn to the Essex side of the River Thames, a site that inherently illustrates the conditions of disused and discarded industrial site all over the Hoo Peninsula. Hole Haven creek bisects 3 conditions, first an industrial site still in use and functioning, section is a site that has been disused for approx.10year with part demolition already taken place. And the third, an industrial site that has long be discarded and now being repossessed by the natural world.
HOLEHAVEN Inhabited Bridges
The focus of the thesis is re-imaging river crossings, exploring possibilities in spatial characteristics and qualities involved in creating inhabited bridges. As Part of the research agenda, this thesis investigates the current global approach to climate change, sustainable and renewable energy and fuel production; in response to the past uses of the site and the equipping of communities to create resilient and sustainable environments for themselves. pose 2 intents for exploration

Hollaway
The Proposal is designed to grow gently out of the land, creating an unobtrusive saddle-shaped meadow grass roof, as you appoarch the building from the main access road, with a mix of retail and living spaces, to provide a working environment tailored for wellbeing of the employees.

The Vinorium is a wine merchant’s base in Kent. The brief was for a brand-new Kent-based headquarters, which will provide a better, beautiful space for Vinorium’s operations and its small but growing workforce. Our proposal took precedent from the principles of a hyperbolic paraboloid roof, the existing agricultural barn and silos will be replaced with an energy-efficient folding concrete building, providing a new office, cellar and tasting room, which gained planning permission in Feb 2020.
The proposed new dwelling is a 4 bedroom family home designed around expressing the curves around the existing site contours. The building is designed to appear to grow gently and unobtrusively out of the ground, featuring a sloping meadow grass roof that allow it to be completely integrated within the existing landscape respecting the vistas of the adjacent properties. Its materials are inspired by the colours and textures visible in the surrounding area and hills, as well as further landscaping work on the private garden area with planting and vegetation native to the site adding extra support for the local wild life, in the buildings continued blending and response to its surrounding landscape.
A complex sloping site with stunning views across the landscape, Little Riseden is a contemporary new dwelling situated within the North Downs AONB. The site has had 2 prior planning applications, one of which was not approved and the other withdrawn, now securing planning consent, under delegated powers in February 2020.

The new extension connects naturally and seamlessly out into the garden and the countryside beyond. We created a larger kitchen area and open entrance hall within the new glass link and incorporating a stepped meadow grass roof-scape towards the new brick extension.

Receiving planning approval in March 2020, the proposal was for the restoration of a beautiful Grade 2 listed building; with features possibly older than the 18th century, as well its curtilage structures, the works included the addition of a modern extension to the farmhouse, that perfectly marry the old and new.
Our proposal includes the erection of a for storey apartment block in place of the now demolished east wing of the hospital. The architecture of the new block takes precedent from the 19th century main building and adjacent properties looking to respond to the existing street line in scale and materiality, incorporating a inverted adaptation of the traditionally recognisable 3 sided bay window to maximize views out to Radnor park opposite.
HerringboneLivingAreaBrickwork
The rear of the site takes precedent from the neighbouring site, with the aim to create a small community within a crescent, and by retaining and enhancing the existing access to be considerate and not overbearing on the surrounding area. The layout creates a central public place within this micro community servicing access to the terraces around a potential living island that can also be used as part of a sustainable urban drainage system.
After 7years from it initial submission the conversion and renovation of the existing 19th century main hospital building into an apartment block and the outline proposal for the land adjacent received planning approval December 2019. A long standing planning application, our proposal looks to continue the redevelopment of the Royal Victoria Hospital and adjacent land.

Lisbon is one of the Oldest cities in Europe; Once under the Roman reign, Conquered by the Moors, then Reconquered by the Portuguese, and victim to a great natural disaster that left the city in ruins. Mouraria is one of the most diverse parts in Lisbon, and the district has been around since the 12th century. But it is also one of the poorest district in the City .
Since Portugal’s Recession between 2010- 2014 and its bailout through the TROIKA agreement, the capital city has undergone rejuvenation and renovation in its architecture and its life. It now seems to be Mouraria’s turn.
Mouraria Civic Center aims to act as a point of contact between the residents of the district of Mouraria, and the governing body of Lisbon. It attempts to provide spaces that explore how engagement between both social groups could be improved; taking precedent from CIM and Renovar a Mouraria, local organisations that already have a similar presence on a smaller scale within the neighbourhood. The need for these services is even more important within the district as it goes through regeneration. The proposal looks to provide the community with social support bodies such as adult learning centres, Town Planning offices, children’s daycare e.t.c, whilst taking advantage of local attraction to promote local businesses and lifestyle, to potentially help fund the day to day running of the building.

The Sauna wanted to collect these memories, experiences and celebrate them. The sauna became my host, itself recited the same story the ranch told, Isolated and away form everything else but radiates the closeness, intimacy that exists and grows on the ranch. The sauna was a place where families, friends, neighbors, strangers went possibly after a long day of working the land. They’d enter the steam room either naked or partially and this sweat bath helps relax their bodies, whilst dipping in and out of the pond outside also, in some cases people had meals in the sauna. Within the structure there was a moment when you are able to ascend into the roof through a human size opening and inhabit this space, an opening which would have been use to let the steam out of the sauna.
Near But Apart LT Ranch 2017
Near But Apart Clinton Olajide Jr
To me the ranch became home. Home to our memories and to those who were there before us, home to the physical marks they left and home to all our emotions that has formed its landscape, the cries cried on the treacherous hike from the Big barn to the house evading mosquitoes, flailing from flies. Home to the intimate, private moment we share with its grounds, to the laughters around the fire, the rumbles around the dinner table, the snors in the sleeping barn, the drilling by the big barn, the wispers of life surrounding the sauna, the echos of the past hiding in the bunkerand the clattering of cans in the house. This is Home
Intimacy and Becoming The Site collected various phrase from everyone who was already able to describe there experience with one word, my hope wasn’t for that word carry all their emotions throughout their experi ence but the way the person brings their writings to life on these placs. But the great thing was that this became an exercise for me to get to know people more and test my knowledge of those I’d known before the ranch. It was a great opportunity experiment with all the different ways of showing a person personality from what I’ve seen though the week.

The desire was to challenge the other ranchers to try and collate their ongoing experiences in one word, it was an exercise that required a great level of reflection, away for the work they were all deeply focused on producing. In conjunction with my observations, I took their words and began my attempt to represent them as raw natural forms, though carving, burning, chopping, joining, and more. Going through these processes gave my the opportunity to reflect on my Theseexperiences.plaques were then exhibited within the sauna and around the tree house. Spaces which provide the conditions allowing you to reflect, in which I took further actions in reinstating them or use and access.
The tree house was initially a touch up project. It began its life not too long ago, a previous project by a previous rancher. But this memory had begun to fade, to rot, to fall apart. Replacing the old broken ladder made using the and removing some old cladding but whilst working on it, the trees house began to speak the same language the Sauna existing close to Stonehenge but apart in the tree house you are a part of the community, the conversations that is the essence of Stonehenge but far enough to be isolated and separate from that world.
Chelsea Shots AIA Student Charrette 2018
Work
Chelsea Shots was produced as part of a day long group competition hosted at the Roca London gallery. The brief was to create a dessert then design a space for is production and sale within Chelsea. Our proposals focus on community engagement, we wanted to have a product that would celebrate the rich history of the area. Our dessert looks at infusing the well know Chelsea buns as a batter with spirits, to create our Chelsea shots desert. The proposed Factory/HQ/Distribution centre will be located opposite Chelsea Creek within the disused gas holders in relation to the current on going development of the surrounding area. The design illustrates the process the producing our dessert and its motion through the building, from delivery of ingredient to production of the desert, to tasting and critic by the community to finally wider distribution of the Chelsea approved Chelsea shots.

You & Yourself Collecting Faces
You & Yourself is my archive of the many experiences I have shared with some of these wonderful people. The process I take through my attempts to capture each strand of hair, wrinkle from a smile and twitch in the eye, embeds my memories of time spent with them on my sheet.
28
You & Yourself is an on-going personal project that looks to capture the souls of those I have met and hold dear. Growing up I moved regularly so haven’t really had the opportunity to form tight long lasting close bonds with friends, never knowing if my next adventure may mean I would not see them again.
The Thoughts Sketch & Iterate The art of making and hand-drawing has always been a key process in my design development, its allowed me to physically develop ideas of spaces and forms I had desired to create. The maquettes and large scale model allow me to visualise these spaces, iterate and explore the relationship between the programmes and spacial function. In the initial phases I can view the design as a coherent piece, then begin sculpting its form. Through sketching i allow myself to make quicker decisions and create multiple iterations to explore and develop ideas. AndaAs part of the process I find the opportunities to explore crafts that exist within my concept, where though the understanding of the process of these crafts, I can use it to inform
