Marsden on a sunny day.11
The project is situated just outside Meltham, near the Peak District National Park. It is a house and a workshop designed specifically for a bagpipe maker and his family . The main design derivatives have been to make the most of the views and vistas, to utilize the natural sunlight available and to make the house suiting the family’s everyday needs.
WINSDOR COURT REDEVELOPMENT AND MORLEY TOWN’S FUTURE Winsdor Court is from the most representative places in the town. It should inspire visitors and citizens of Morley. It is also one of the focal points in town. Therefore its renovation should be taken into careful consideration. Being renovated with an more organic roof the space will change completely its vibe. A new lattice roof ,like the famous British Museum’s renovation, will contribute to atmosphere in front of the Town Hall making it the perfect spot for interacting.
Saint Mary’s Church attracts and fascinates visitors even now when it is abandoned. Numerous people have expressed their fascination with it on internet. Therefore the my proposal is that the building should be kept. In my vision the church should be renovate so it would be safe for people to go in. With its high ceilings the space would be perfect for an art gallery. Inside the building itself it can be placed curved modular ramp. The construction of which would be light and easy to deconstruct but yet safe and stable. The ramp would have several levels depending on the height of the church. Moreover it will wrap around the walls on which will be displayed different exhibits. The Church’s garden will also play an essential role to the new renovated town landmark. In future there can be placed a stage where local bands and artists can share their work with people from Morley and town visitors.
