Welcoming visitors at one of the main entrances to Expo 2020 Dubai is Alif, a pavilion named after the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and dedicated to Mobility. From the outside, the building is curvaceous, but it hides a fantastical world: three giant figures of historical explorers, rendered in photo-realistic detail by our collaborating counterparts, the special effects team that worked on "The Lord of the Rings" films.
It's one of three thematic pavilions at the event, along with Opportunity and Sustainability. Together, they function as visual landmarks for the latest edition of the World Expo, an international exhibition that also hosts individual pavilions from 192 countries and will run for six months until the end of March 2022.
I was part of the design team at Foster+Partners, tasked with coordinating the exhibition space and designing the building to host the exhibition. A ribbed and curved shape to th building is meant to evoke movement. Inside, three main galleries are connected by a central core that hosts the world's largest passenger elevator, with a capacity of 160 people.

Sheephouse will become the headquarters of a luxury English watch making firm. They intend to use the building as their head office as well as the factory which they are set to produce all components of the watch in.
My involvement in this project was alongside a larger team of around 8, including architects and engineers. I was able to work on this project for a lot of the Tender phase and have thus been able to understand managing clients, tenants and landlords as well.
The level of detail provided by those working on the project encouraged the client to see our work in a wider context. Whilst the client is interested in this building in particular they also have multiple shops around the world from which they sell their products. Therefore, much of the interest in this project came from the bespoke furnishing we designed as they intend to replicate these throughout stores worldwide. This was never an initial brief but was created through attention to detail.

HIGH LEAS
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Location: Oxfordshire
Sector: Residential Work Stages: Developed Design
Area: 800 msq
Construction Cost: NA
Role: Architectural Assistant 1
High Leas is a residential project situated in Henley-on-Thames. The project brief was to put forward construction of a new dwelling on an existing tennis court, part of one owners plot of land. The new dwelling would occupy 1 acre in total and wanted to be ‘an eclectic use of sympathetic materials to give it a modern but unimposing look’.
Myself and 1 other architect worked together to realise the planning document. was given a series of hand sketches from which I then drew up the dwelling to take forward to planning.
Immediately this project through up the problem of producing a separate dwelling which would not impose on the local area, nor the existing land owners house. The street does not boast any new builds and thus creating a modern house would be an initial challenge.
Working on High Leas gave me real insight into putting together a full planning document. Producing the drawings to a standard which the client was happy with whilst also creating a design and access statement which would allow the council to give permission for the building to go ahead introduced me to the client/council balance in architecture.
The design and access statement challenged me to understand why particular materials and aesthetics might be required in particular locations. Moreover, under the constraints of client requirements I was able to cautiously indulge in spacial planning with the prospect of it actually being occupied. The project received planning permission however has not yet progressed to tender.
