NOMINATION || RIBA North East Student Awards, AJ Student Prize 2023
This project is about engaging with semi-rural condition of Country Durham and pilgrim route ‘The Way of Light’ where I explore an interwoven set of themes illuminating our relationship to history, climate and local communities. My project engages with the archaeology of the ruin at Bearpark, leading to the identification of a need for space to preserve historic artefacts and make them available to local neighbourhood. Aiming to reveal the history of the site and increase people’s awareness in preserving heritage and culture. Inspired by the pilgrim walk of the studio theme, I design the building as a ‘journey’ slowly leading people travel back to the past within the site and centering historic preservation as an act of environmental conservation.

SITE ANALYSIS
BEARPARK
DURHAM
Key History Features - Beaurepaire Priory
Located next to the site. Translating as ‘beautiful retreat’ from the French by which it was originally known. A 13th century priory twixt manor house that was a retirement home and retreat for the Durham Monks. Unfortunately, the priory was badly damaged again by the Scots during the English Civil in the 1640s and has remained ruinous.

DESIGN CONCEPT
Removing barriers, extending to landscapes
Keeping the profile low to reflect on local typologies. The massing looks blocky in boarder landscape. I took inspiration from Barcelona Pavillion and Rohe's Bricks House by extending walls into the landscape. Breaking the clear boundary between the building and landscape. Users can weave within the landscape through walls. Extended walls can be designed for outdoor working spaces for technical school.

PAINTER’S BOTHY
Ushaw College Bearpark Durham
STUDIO || Transect: Foot Notes on a Liminal Landscape
LOCATION || Ushaw College, County Durham
DATE || Oct 2022
TUTOR || James Longfield
This project involves creating a bothy intended for hikers seeking overnight accommodation, offering a cozy refuge for a brief escape from the city. Fascinated by the peaceful of the landscape, the design aims to inspire users to coexist harmoniously with nature. Integrating with the topography, extending toward the pond and path, the structure encourages inhabitants to connect with their surroundings.
Named ‘Painter’s Bothy,’ this shelter also serves as a gallery. The hope is that people will capture the essence of the landscape through their drawings, leaving behind visual narratives for others to appreciate and share.

This project is about understanding the radical winter transformation of local rivers into routes for wandering the landscape. The shelter takes inspiration from structures of pilgrimage, nodes for pause on personal journeys, focal points that establish temporal communities of fellow travellers.
The shelter’s core comprises panels of wood fibre insulation stacked horizontally to create a cube. The centre of which is carved out to create organically enveloping interior. The spatial ambiguity of its interior inviting exploration.

CONTRIBUTION || Elevation
I took responsibility of creating elevation visuals of the flat block for the clients. Aiming to vividly portray the chosen materials, textures and architectural elements intended for the building’s exterior. I also took responsibility to model the ground floor community area to express the project’s commitment of bringing the community together.

CONTRIBUTION || Brick dimensions and flat layout design
This project involves 14 different house types. My role is to design flat layouts based on building regulations and client’s comments. I have also taken charge of modifying plans and elevation to brick dimensions in Revit model. This involves modifying window sizes to ensure they integrate seamlessly within the brick layout without compromising structural integrity or aesthetics. Alongside window positioning, I have been responsible for adjusting wall lengths to fit brick dimensions while ensuring the interior layout functions effectively balance structural considerations with interior design needs.

This project aims to provide 38 new council rent homes within a high-quality sustainable scheme. The new homes will be for residents who are currently on the council’s housing waiting list and help to meet the needs of the residents now and for generations to come.
In addition to providing new homes, the proposals include significant landscape enhancements, new play space and shared amenities for residents of the estate.
CONTRIBUTION || Site context and levels
I collaborate with landscape architects to analyse the existing trees and organise the site levels for the proposal. My tasks extended to draft site sections based on the levels. The section aim to portray reality for planning application, ensuring a clear visualisation of proposed landscape and design within the site context.
