Experience:
Anderson Bell + Christie Architects, Glasgow:
Part 1 Architectural Assistant - February 2024 – Present
My main roles and responsibilities at AB+C are to work as part of a team with varying levels of experience to deliver projects up to RIBA Stage 3, navigating statutory consents processes. This has involved the use of software such as Revit to make updates to models and drawings, alongside various other rendering and graphic softwares to compile reports etc.
I have experience working with Care inspectorate guidelines and listed building consent applications and understand the increased level of design considerations when dealing with these.
Whilst to a lesser extent, I have experience in stage 4 and stage 5 projects, working towards building warrant submissions and projects processing RFIs once a project is under construction.
Sirius Academy North, Hall Road, Kingston upon Hull: 1 to 1 Tutor - November 2023- February 2024
In my role as a 1-1 Tutor at Siruis Academy North I was responsible for planning and carrying out maths lessons with children either by themselves or in small groups. I also worked in a more passive setting assisting teachers delivering their own lessons.
This job highlighted to me the importance of clear and concise communication both to the children and my colleagues. It also often required problem solving and conflict resolution between challenging students. My time at S.A.N was really rewarding, and above all a valuable learning experience in the “Soft Skills” required to effectively communicate with people, even when opinions differ or the subject matter is difficult.
Escape 2 Make, Remote:
Building Design Team Assistant - October 2023- December 2023
My temporary role at Escape2Make was to consult on, and co-design a temporary structure that provided a space for young people in the Lancaster and Morecambe area. The building was designed to house workshop spaces, a kitchen, offices and a multi-functional events space. The key design principles were that the design would be made from reclaimed shipping containers and reclaimed materials wherever possible. The client was keen for the design to be fully demountable and able to be stored inside the shipping container for transit, as this temporary structure would be used as a “pop-up” installation whilst a permanent solution was being developed.
The Audio Room, Savile Street, Kingston upon Hull:
Sales, Marketing & Database Operative - October 2023- February 2024
I had several responsibilities in my role at The Audio Room in both customer-facing and back-of-house work. My main responsibility was to log all sales records and invoices into the database and update customer details to allow for targeted marketing. Alongside this, I also produced graphics to promote events and product ranges used on social media etc; gave sales advice and facilitated demonstrations of bespoke systems for clients; Delivered and installed specialist hi-fi equipment; and attended conferences and events held by industry leading manufacturers and representatives.
ASDA, Kingswood, Kingston upon Hull:
Delivery Driver - February 2022- December 2023
In between university semesters and during my time at S.A.N and The Audio Room, I worked as a delivery driver for ASDA. Whilst only in a junior role, I was able to get an understanding of the importance of co-ordination and timing when working on a large scale. When I was more experienced in the role, I was given the responsibilities of training new drivers and “service work” which required me to conduct safety checks on all of the vehicles and liaise with other team members to sort and load deliveries into vans for other drivers.

THE HAWTHORN LESLIE CENTRE, HEBBURN
BA Hons, Year 3, Project 2
Former Hawthorn Leslie Shipyard, Hebburn
The main aim of this museum was to regenerate the sense of pride that was once so prevalent in the industrial neighbourhoods of Tyneside. The previous industrial nature of the place has inherently impacted the local ecosystem. Therefore, the aim was to regenerate and conserve the delicate riparian ecosystem, preserve the memory of the industry that was once at the heart of these neighbourhoods, and create a place that instils a new sense of pride in the community.
“Launch Event” for newly refurbished artefacts, ready for transit to other facilities.
The introduction of “Viewing Portals” would transport visitors back to the industrial days of The Hawthorn Leslie Shipyard. These augmented views consisted of line drawings, generated from historic photographs of the site. This meant that the visitor would be stood exactly where the photo was taken giving them a first person perspective of past activity on the site.
Elevated walkways and viewing towers, giving views of Wallsend on the North bank.

THE ALPHABETTI CREATIVE CO-OPERATIVE
CENTRE, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
@ 1:100
BA Hons, Year 3, Project 1
Newcastle’s City Image:
Strengths:
•There is a huge section of space that could become a new section of public realm
•There are multiple options for where to extend
•There is already a significant cultural presence with the theatre and museum opposite
•The site is in the west of the city – a historically neglected part of the city
Weaknesses:
•St. James’ Boulevard is a huge urban edge cutting the site off from the city centre
•The boulevard creates lots of noise pollution and air pollution
•Too much hardscaping and not effective planting for biodiversity
•The existing fabric of the building will have to be upgraded in terms of thermal performance
•The party wall of the building will have to be considered very carefully to eliminate thermal bridging
Opportunities:
•The boulevard could be closed down over time and this could create yet more public realm
•Availability of sun and wind on site could be used to generate electricity and heat water
•If I extend to the north there is an opportunity to create a new sense of frontage for Blandford Square
•There is an opportunity to connect with the Newcastle Helix site and maybe be a small business hub
Threats:
•If the boulevard is closed down, there is a risk of city-wide congestion
•If the extension is to the west here is a risk of overheating in summer
•There is potential that the are could become gentrified – therefore the community will be the decision makers
•If the new landscaping is not carefully considered the impact of the new tree species etc could cause consequences later down the line

Making considerations engaging in
The size and complexity of the floor plans of this building means that it will require an automatic fire detection system. This system will be primarily concerned with the protection of life as opposed to property. Despite the public nature of this building, a phased exit strategy would not be appropriate. The installation of an automated system would also eliminate the reliance on manual systems or staff operated systems. This would vary across the different types of spaces in the building so as to best prepare for the consequences of a fire in each specific space.
The systems installed across the building would be: L3 – systems designed to warn of fire at an early enough stage to enable all occupants, other than possibly those in the room where the fire started, to escape safely before the escape routes become impassable because of fire, smoke or toxic gases. – in compliance with BS 58391.
The fire detection method would vary across the building to suit the spaces:
• Most single story, contained spaces (e.g. offices and studio spaces) would be fitted with a point heat system
The larger atria would have to be fitted with a Aspirating Fire Detection system as the high ceiling heights would rule out the effectiveness of a point heat system
• The plant room would be
On-site Health and safety principles:
Every worker on site must be provided with the adequate PPE before commencing work, this will be provided in the PPE store on site and the workers will have a changing facility on site.
• Before setting foot on site, each worker must have the relevant training and be signed off by an examiner – for a example a relevant CSCS Card for the activity they will be undertaking etc (Construction Builder Support [CBS], 2021)
The removal of the existing windows and the floor plate as well as the extension build means that there will be a number of workers working at height i.e. 2m or more. These workers will be equipped with the appropriate fall protection – i.e. harnesses, fall nets, tool retention lanyards etc.
Repetitive strain injuries can have a big effect on a workforce, yet they are some of the easiest injuries to avoid. Therefore, the handling of heavy components on site will be carefully monitored – no person should be lifting more than 10kg worth of weight at once. This applies to loads over 10kg too, for example a 30kg weight would require 3 workers. Construction is generally a dangerous industry and there are inherent risks attached to that fact. Therefore, there will be some hazards that can’t be fully eliminated. However, the risk can be mitigated and should be carefully considered to minimise the potential for harm as much as possible.
Risks that cant be fully eliminated will be mitigated by providing sufficient safety measures to reduce the likelihood of accidents. For example: provision of break spaces to prevent fatigue, implementing the relevant health and safety signs, and having a HSE on site that will ensure operations are running safely and in line with the health and safety principles outlined above.
PPE Provision:
The provision of the correct PPE is of paramount imporatnce for protecting workers. All of the following standards (below) are derived from SHE PPE: Complete guide to Personal Protective Equipment unless stated otherwise (SHP, 2022)
• Hard hats - The relevant standards are BS EN 397 and BS EN 14052
• Steel toe caps - The relevant standard for safety footwear is BS EN ISO 20345.
• Hi-vis clothing – The relevant standard for hi vis clothing is BS EN 471 + A1.
• Ear defenders - The relevant standard for the ear protectors is BS EN 352 Part 1.
• Safety goggles - The relevant standards are BS 7028 (Guide to Selection of Eye Protection for Industrial and Other Uses) and BS EN 166 (Specification for Eye Protectors).
• Gloves - BS EN 388 covers the specification
Fall Nets:
Due to the fact tha tthe proposal removes a part of a floor plate top open up a space in the existing building, there would have to be a sufficient net installed to prevent not only falling workers being injured, but materials and tools wouldn’t fall on others below.
Site compound:
The Portakabins comprising the site compound have been arranged in a stacked configuration in order to reduce the overall footprint without comprising the facilities.
of gloves against mechanical hazards.
Dust mask – there will be different standards of respiratory protection required for different tasks.
• Knee pads – knee pads and other body protection carry different standards and aren’t necessarily required – therefore workers may choose to not wear them however they would be provided on site.
• Safety harness – the different fall retention equipment will have different associated standards and will

tower crane (30m
The tower crane has a large enough boom to be able to reach ver the extension and existing building. It is also large enough to swing over the new public realm and site compound to move elements directly from HGVs or from the floor.
HGV Drop off Point: Access for HGVs is essential for a smooth and seamless construction process. This has been positioned so that it is in the centre of the site as well as having a good connection to the road. The crane has a suffieciently long boom arm so that it can move components from the HGVs to a designated part of the site compound or lift them directly into the building.
Scaffolding:
Scaffolding is a key part of any construction project - this will allow for a temporary platorm for the removal of the existing windows as well as making the installation of the new windows and SIPs easier.

A group project based in Northern Seoul, South Korea. (In collaboration with Tae-young Yeo, Cho-ha Kim and Ho-young Yeo)
This project was set in an area in which is largely dominated by the fabric and fashion industry. The site posed several constraints such as density, overheating and poor living conditions. As a team we were tasked with generating a set of proposals that would regenerate the area in the year 2050. We chose to have a series of interventions at different scales.

E2M (ESCAPE 2 MAKE)
Volunteering with a charity that works with children in Lancaster
Escape 2 Make is a charity that works with 11-18-year-olds in the Lancaster and Morecambe area, providing workshops and short courses in collaboration with businesses, artists, etc, to provide an alternative place to learn, socialise, and make a difference in the community. I briefly worked with the charity on the design of a temporary building.
The shipping container-based design aims to create a space that will last 3-5 years whilst another site is being retrofitted to accommodate the needs of the charity. There was a big emphasis on demountable design and reduced waste. I produced some initial prototype designs comprised of a kit of parts that can be assembled easily with minimal specialist skills and tools.
