CAFÉ STRASSE conceptual intent

A Transformational Object Café Strasse is a critical exploration into how the essence of the Viennese Coffeehouse Culture could be brought into the Praterstrasse, a historical main thoroughfare into Vienna, to disrupt the existing fabric and re-activate street and cultural life.

The project explores notions of the dialetic conditions found in these internal urban spaces: private vs public, interior vs exterior, intimacy vs grandeur, enclosed vs open. Along with a masterplan of four individual interventions, these interrelationships were primarily carried out through two proposals, expressed through an embedded programme that related back to the existing urban fabric and those found in Viennese coffeehouses: 1. A Member’s Club for coffeehouse owners 2. An Exhibition Gallery for the public

CAFÉ STRASSE a secret entrance

“As as I walked towards the ‘coffee culture factory’, I’m determined this time to venture up and inside! But the closer I came up to it, with its smelling trumpets and fresh aroma I’ve forgotten where that thin staircase was. Then before I realised I was in front of it. I stop. And I notice the pipework running into and around the dark corridor. I hear faint laughter, chatter. I edge closer. Then I see a pipe is blocking me. I have to walk round. Finally! But as I lifted my foot to go up the first tread, the dark stairs seem darker and the corridor seems smaller.

Maybe not today. And I walk back. I’m late for school!”

THE JOIN conceptual aspirations

What is that ‘thing’ where it is neither this nor that? Can it be both? Where is it?

My final year undergraduate project, driven by a personal interest and self-generated brief. The chief aim is to explore and celebrate the inter-joining of multiple peoples and relationships, the ‘edge’ between two things, the threshold, the in-between space, the ‘betwixt & between’. The proposed scheme aims to join together the individual and collective together to form a community, specifically to join generations together; a true community that comprises of both the young and elderly - the sharing of common life and range of experiences; to create a ‘place’ in the form of a community centre, where interaction between generations is not only encouraged but celebrated. The programme is divided between spaces that are more private and enclosed (individual), including a theatre, nursery, and education spaces; and spaces that are more public and open (collective), including a sports hall, gym, games room, cafe and library.

Self-reflection | The project was very sophisticated balancing both emotional and technical content, engaging in depth with contexts and every aspect of design from brief level through to the technical detail. The project would benefit further from better critical exploration and integration of a strategy of building services.

THE JOIN a child’s threshold

Lucy stands on the wooden seat and peers through the window curiously.

“Lucy you’re not supposed to do that!” Her friend whispers.

“I just want to see what’s happening... wait... is that my sister? What’s she doing?”

THE JOIN individual enclosure

Sam sits on the wooden steps, playing chess with his friends.

He looks up and calls to to some of his class-mates coming up the stairs: “Do you wanna play with us? Come’on, I’ll get another board. We’ll play a quick game before breaktime finishes!”

Emily and Sarah walk along ‘The Street’ corridor, gossiping about the latest drama at college.

Suddenly, Emily runs to the side leaning over the balustrade.

“Hey! Look! It’s the boys playing badminton... I think it might be their first time playing...”

BATH FILM INSTITUTE conceptual aspirations

Suspended reality & Factual fantasy This was a group project with civil and environmental engineers, which seeks to create a film institute that has the ability to engage with the city whilst facilitating detachment from it; a paradoxical yet rich concept. It remains a vehicle that aims to enrich one’s filmic experience whilst contributing to the cultural vibrancy of Bath.

1. City | Re-enchanting the river corridor 2. Site | Mediation between city & landscape 3. Programmatic | Grounded plinth & Elevated lantern 4. Integration | An expressive skin and immersive heart Self-reflection | The scheme benefited from a holistically integrated, architectural and engineering approach. It would be improved by greater clarity and ambition in its architectural expression, as well as further investigation and integration of its park landscape.

STONEWOOD DESIGN residential projects Stonewood Design is an award winning practice. I worked within a small office of nine, and worked through RIBA work stages 1-5 on a variety of projects, predominantly residential: submitting full planning and listed building applications, tender issues, construction and working drawings, as well as winning a national competition to design a new campus for an independent school in Bath. The practice was highly driven by elegant design and contemporary craftsmanship, which helped build skills and interests for my final year of undergraduate studies.
