01 - S UN ‘Daylesford Longhouse’ analytical study and visuals Stage 3 project - 2022 ‘Big enough and protected enough for the landscape to flourish, inside’ The Partners Hill project the Daylesford Longhouse reconciles the desire of its owners to establish a boutique farm, cooking school, reception venue and home. Initial site investigations revealed a local population of grazing fauna, hostile weather conditions, sporadic rainfall and shallow planting depths.

Here I have a range of photographs of my model, where I examined how the flow through the space is maximised for the inhabitants. The seperated nature of the internal structures provide further indivuality based on there use.

Leading with the barn it converts to a kitchen space then finaly accomodation spaces.

This arid environment made for a need for a specified design, optimising circulation of space and cohesiveness of layout. Using a range of visuals and drawings I attempted to examine this environment, looking at how it focused on having both functionality and aesthetics, and how I could adapt this design towards the Port Dundas project.

Zoning as well as spatial flow allows for the creation of a range of complex shapes and layouts.

Spatial flow especially can help link the movement of people to the design of my structure

0 2 - TR A D E ‘The Urban Food Exchange’ Stage 3 project - 2023 As a food exchange apprenticeship centre, aimed for the unskilled and jobless, my project would create a great environment for improving social cohesion. Young (and old) apprentices could be mentored in the space by gurus whose success and desire to give something back to society, grants them time to impart their knowledge. Culinary and artistic ventures can be introduced offering a discounted co-working centre in exchange for pairing and mentoring. Specialist skills such as brewing, beers and specialist kombucha like health products could be harnessed to create artisan revenue for the centre.

Adopting the Dayelsford Longhouse approach I chose to divide the floors of the building for different uses, allowing different environments to live along side one other. With the front facade opening to the main canal I attempt to combine the surrounding environment to the neighbourhood. Using the canal to move produce allows for low carbon production and greater connectivity.

Main market and visitor spaceAs an essential place for the visiting public the market is set on the ground level for easy access, as well as an easier collection of produce from the canal. Its large area allows for the allowance of a range of public functions as well as multiple stalls for differing products.

Set at the upper level of the building the accommodation is given a degree of privacy away from the public. Allowing a occupancy of 14 people enables them to grow as a community, having to cook, eat, sell and sleep in a shared space. The upper lounge space furthers there quality of living, letting them relax and socialise whilst having a view over the canal.

A communitive response has been adopted through the balance of both design and adaptability. My structure consists of complete steel framework, with the use of recycled brickwork panels, reducing overall carbon use for the main structure. Huge levels of waste are lost through the negation of materials, however with recirculatory system brought by the use of locally collected brick panels, which can be reused for a much longer period. Being able to be used both structurally and as a facade allows greater efficiency within the design.

The movement of traditional materials also reduces the carbon footprint caused by exportation, whilst also boosting investment and further maintaining of excess materials.

03 - F UN G I ‘InterACT 23 Anniesland Towers Gasworks’ Stage 3 project - 2023 The program aimed for us to repurpose the remanent steel framework of the two Anniesland gasworks’ towers in order to create community allotments to promote healthier food consumption within the local area. This was a joint project between the Makintosh School of Architecture, University of Glasgow and Caledonian University - having a range of courses including structural engineer’s, a quantity surveyor and an architect. With varying roles mine was to design the layout and the facade, optimising the space available as well attracting the public. Through analysing the site, the use of vertical growers seemed to maximise the space used, having revolving shelves for different members. Hydroponic systems were also used to minimise loads, having the heaviest fungi production area closest to the ground.

I choose to use a natural organic hive structure - with varying shapes the new construction could avoiding the restrictions of the protected existing structures, acting almost like an actual Site drawing Site images bee hive and parasitically wrapping around its facade. The range of spaces also gave an opportunity to create differing sized units through the use of rotating bookshelves - whether to be used to teach, read alone or as a group.

0 5 - HEAT ‘Chaselton Hill Sauna’ construction Devilfish Design Limted - 2022

The Chaselton Hill, Oxfordshire Sauna project aimed to utilize unused space within an existing home. The inside of the sauna is made up of tall, linear panels, rendered in Red Cedar. The long horizontal windows with copper lintels set above seating-level are used to create a more spacious environment, whilst still maintaining privacy for the sauna users. A contrast between the hot and cold environments was created through construction - the sauna having a deep red cedar material and the shower & changing space being set in cool, honed limestone stone tiles.

The majority of my work concentrated on developing details of the structure, drawing out how the space would be divided.

Working in a team environment taught me how to work cohessively, as well as the importance of communicating throughout the process. By the end I gained an insight of the design process as well as how that evolves into the final product.

06 - SH OT ‘Structure’ photography series Dating back to the age of constructivism, these iconic concrete and wooden marvels sit on the Czech Polish border. It took me a two day hike to reach them from a town called Spindlruv Mlyn. The structures vary from the traditional local vernacular to brutalism, showing the place’s heritage and history.
