Inness Yeoman CV & Portfolio

Curriculum Vitae

Practice I have been regularly employed at Stallan-Brand Architecture & Design for the past 6-7 years. This experience has provided me with a practical understanding of the construction industry and the inner workings of an architecture office. I have been involved in a range of projects across various sectors, at different scales, and design stages. As part of a skilled visual production team, I have learnt to tailor output to the precise level of detail required for specific tasks at each project stage.

I pride myself on my proficiency with 3D and 2D modelling using tools such as SketchUp and AutoCAD, as well as post-production and presentation software like Photoshop and InDesign. At Stallan-Brand, I was the go-to staff member for software-related questions and troubleshooting. I also mentored work-experience students, setting up hypothetical design projects and teaching software skills. I see myself as a hard-working and dedicated team member, striving to be an asset to both the business and the industry as a whole.

Studio The Mackintosh School of Architecture is renowned as one of the world’s leading architecture institutions, celebrated for its commitment to transformational design and its encouragement of students to challenge conventional boundaries. My studio projects have evolved from a deep understanding of the significance of culture and context.

I am captivated by critical regionalism, and my analysis of Scottish vernacular architecture often finds expression in my studio projects. From the design concept to the constructive detailing, I enjoy the process of designing at every stage and know how to effectively communicate ideas through clear diagrams and visualisations. I value architectural critical theory and enjoy critiquing visual output such as plans, sections, visualisations, and diagrams. I am a confident presenter.

Garden of Singing Trees

Community In 2019, I was involved in organising a vibrant community festival in Pollokshields in Glasgow, aimed at raising awareness a funds for The Mental Health Foundation. The event took place in the idyllic setting of the Garden of Singing Trees, a charming green space nestled within a tenement block off Kenmure Street. Stalls were set up to serve food, and for young artist enterprises to showcase and sell their work. The festival featured an array of local DJs who provided a dynamic musical backdrop, fostering a lively and inclusive atmosphere. The community showed remarkable support and flexibility, allowing for both loud music and the setup of diverse food stalls. This collective effort not only enhanced the event’s appeal but also underscored the community’s commitment to mental health causes. The accompanying image showcases a SketchUp model I built to visualise the festival layout. This model was instrumental in the planning and programming the festival, and will be used in the future for the community to plan further events, in which I’ll continue to be actively involved.

Garden of Singing Trees

Campiello The 2019 community festival in Pollokshields, Glasgow, was a resing Trees, resounding success, bringing together local residents to support The Mental Health Foundation.

Held in the serene Garden of Singing Trees, the even featured food stalls and young artists’ enterprises, all set against a backdrop of vibrant music provided by local DJs. The festival not only created a lively and inclusive atmosphere but also showcased the remarkable support and flexibility of the community, allowing for a diverse range of activities. The accompanying photograph captures the moment before the gates opened, showing the stalsl set up and the booth for the DJs. It’s regretably the only photograph I captured. The Garden was eventually flooded with visitors. The event underscored the community’s commitment to mental health causes and set a precedent for future gatherings, in which I am proud to continue my active involvement.

Glasgow

Mapping The City As part of my diploma, I undertook a large study using old fire insurance surveys drawn by cartographer, Charles Goad in the late 19th and early 20th century, originally produced to determine fire insurance premiums for the city of Glasgow. The maps detail comprehensive information about buildings and their charecteristics - their dimensions, street widths, storeys, heights, construction methods, materials, building use/type, and the proximity of water and fire services. Interestingly, the names of busineses are also detailed, as are the street names, numbers and storey heights. Materials are highlighted by colour. Pink representing stone, yellow timber and blue - glass. I reconstructed the map at a scale of 1:500 like a jigsaw puzzle to provide a snapshot of Glasgow at the height of its industrial activity. The scale of the map helped to convey the intensity of the city, its commercial activity, and build a picture of what life was like in Glasgow during that period of time. In combination with this research and other sources like historic aerial shots and imagery such as Thomas Annan’s photography, I was also able to uncover history about my chosen site, Charlotte St, which was an otherwie forgotten city block. This piece of research was funded by Stallan-Brand and was of mutual benefit to the team and my final year thesis.

Glasgow

Climate Change I have used my final two years of university to develop a thesis that seeks to address the climate emergency. One which is culturally appropriate to Glasgow and speaks to both contemporary and historical social issues.

The drawing is of an aerial perspective of Calton, looking east towards The Barras, Glasgow Green, the City Centre and my final year thesis site, Charlotte St. This version of the drawing envisions the repurposing of vacant or derelict sites for urban farming.

The theory is that people may be able to cultivate their own crops and trade with distributors. This corresponds with progressive theories of ‘locavoring’, in which one of the general principles people’s diets should consist of locally grown food. The concept is appropriate from a legacy perspective.

Glasgow once had a reputation for growing seasonal fresh produce in the city centre.

There were at least six productive market gardens in Grahamston, many breweries, granaries, bakeries and orchards.

Charlotte Street Proposal

Climate My final year thesis proposal consists of a masterplan which includes a residential, educational and commercial component.

The proposal for Charlotte Street draws on and expands themes found at New Lanark but reimagined to attempt to tackle current problems and is about being robust enogh to tackle issues of the future. Inter-generational housing dedicates a portion of its space to cultivate fruits, vegetables, flowers or introduce native vegetation through rewilding. A locavore store rewards green endevours purchasing produce grown by residence. The ethos of collaboration and community extends to a ‘primary’ school where age constraints are dissolved. Foundational knowledge remains integral, but there’s a renewed focus on environmental consciousnnes at every learning stage. Subjects like Biology, Maths, Physcics and the Arts are now toos to better understand the environment and our challenge as human to tackle climate change. This drawing is a top-down view of the masterplan, showing the proposed townhouses, street and it’s relation and proximiyu to the proposed school.The tenements on London Road with commercial ground level reinfoce an edge to the city block.

Charlotte Street Proposal

Climate My final two years of university were used to develop a thesis that is culturally appropriate to Glasgow. The visualisation is of my proposal for Charlotte St. The proposal seeks to re-introduce a town-house vernacular where Villas of the same scale historically lined the street. Coincidentally, merchant and philanthropist, David Dale lived in one of the historic Villas on Charlotte Street, who was the original founder of New Lanark, an early new town which was used to experiment with social and utopian ideas and communal living, further honed by Robert Owen. The visualisation depicts the proposed regeneration of Charlotte St looking south towards Glasgow Green. The street is pedestrianised and split with a strip of rewilded green space. The width of the street and proximity between the townhouses intend to create a sense of neighbourliness and social inclusion. The street, further operates as a gateway to Glasgow Green.

Charlotte Street Proposal

Outdoor Learning I introduced the design of a Climate Campus within the Charlotte St proposal to tie together the concepts of sustainability and education. Education, which is vital for all aspects of life, affects children’s early preconceptions of the environment and how to or how not to take care of it. The primary school seeks to include an extra-curricular and core curriculum that involves learning about horticulture, climate change, feminism, healthy eating, outdoor learning, play and exercise. The school is not exclusive to children, it involving programs for adults and further education. The school also performs as a base for the community centre for Charlotte Street. (This render was from an early staage of the project. The saw-tooth roofed have been flipped to face the north for in-direct light. It was apparent there would be too much solar gain facing south.

The overall form and program of the school remained the same).

Axonometric Section This is an axonometric diagram extracted from a detailed technical Sketchup model of the school. It shows the structural elements of the school in three-dimensions to better understand the overall structure of the school. The axonometric also communicates the simplicity of the mezzanine circulation/ access to the upper floor classrooms. Active large span spaces supported by large glulam timber beams allow for activity to fluctuate within the depth of the plan on an east and west axis, cognisant of daylight, and the ability to access secure outdoor learning spaces and fresh air. Controllable awnings allow for control of the amount of light allowed into the building.

12

Charlotte St Climate Campus

Concept Sketches I am interested in creating overlay ‘sketch’ diagrams that express the design strategy of the building whether that intent is expressed better in the floor plan or the section. These diagrams were quickly drawn over the original concept plans for the climate school in Procreate and are accompanied by desriptive annotations that highlight the key features of the school. The diagrams are used to provide a visual narrative of the design intent.

Floor Plans The formalised floor plans of the Climate Campus logically organise the key spaces of the school. Students have optional points of entry, either through the main entrance or directly via the ground floor classrooms.

There are two main stair-cores and a central ascending staircase in the main hall. Classrooms are on the eastern axis of the building, optimising natural light in the morning and create an intuitive flow through the building.

Elevations The East and West elevations shown illustrate the building’s facades, which is constructed from sandstone panels. Great attention was taken in oganising the geometry and positioning of the panels enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The use of stone follows my interest in Scottish Vernacular architecture. The West elevation has a a more utilitarian form that follows its primary function as a sports and dining hall. Whereas the East elevations communication of the sawtooth roof is more dynamic and active. The saw-tooth roof faces north for indirect light.

Sections The sections provided offer a comprehensive view of the internal organization and structural components of the Charlotte Street Climate Campus. These sections highlight the spatial dynamics, showing the relationship between different functional areas and the overall design strategy. The detailed depiction of constructive elements such as the large glulam timber beams emphasizes the structural integrity and sustainable approach of the design. These beams support large span spaces, facilitating flexible activity zones oriented along the east-west axis, and circulation along the north-west axis. Additionally, the cross sections illustrate the effective use of natural light and ventilation, with classrooms positioned to maximize morning sunlight and ensure fresh air circulation. The design also incorporates controllable awnings to manage light levels within the building, enhancing the environmental comfort and energy efficiency.

Clyde Maritime Centre

River The Clyde Maritime Centre is a project I developed in 3rd year undergraduate. I identified an appropriate and exciting site for location of the new Clyde Maritime Centre in Bowling which is situated west along the River Clyde past Dumbarton and is easily accessible by train. It is a complex and characterful site featuring a marina upon which sits an old railway bridge, control house, boats - old and new, and a variety of cafes and shops. The proposed museum will sit upon the existing promenade reinstating its function as a breakwater wall protecting the quayside from wave attenuation, reflection and diffraction, where recovered boats will dock as part of the exhibitory visitors’ experience.`

Clyde Maritime Centre

Promenade The site identified for location of the new Clyde Maritime Centre is in Bowling, west along the River Clyde past Dumbarton and easily accessible by train. It is a complex and characterful site featuring a marina upon which sits an old railway bridge, control house, boats both old and new and a variety of cafes and shops. The new musem will sit upon the existing promenade reinstating the function of the breakwater wall protecting the quayside where recovered boats will dock in the future.

Dry Dock This is a rendered image of the dry dock which stores boats in the process of repair and demonstrates how visitors can visitors can enter and leave from the museum space and view live and active boats in the process of recoery and documentation. Visitors and staff explore the building using a circulatory deck which weaves in and out of the massive insulated castle-like structure, and interact with the museum in a different atmosphere.

The image is produced using a scene from a Sketchup model with Enscape then enhancing and applying more textures and people in Photoshop.

19

Clyde Maritime Centre

Cross Section The cross section represents constituant parts of the building’s concept. Through critical analysis it was decided to build the Maritime Centre atop the existing breakwater promenade. The diaphragm wall on the south elevation is ensembled of concrete blocks and shielded by stone panels, a robust rainwater and seawater break strong enough to withstand the extremity of Scotland’s westcoast climate. Within and between the depth of the thick walls houses the museum and visitor center. Made of steel and relatively lighter than its thick-wall counter part, the dry dock accommodates old boats in the process of repair and documentation. The castle-like museum interfaces with the dry dock where visitors weave in and out of the museum to view the artisinal skill of preserving historic boats.

Gauja Park Footbridge

Gateway I recently won two monetary awards for designing a proposal for a footbridge linking two embankments in the Gauja National Park in Latvia. The proposal exemplifies a considered design process where all scales, from contextual integration to the structural concept and constructive detailing are each inextricably linked. The footbridge acts as a ‘gateway’ to the national park where travelers may begin their journey. As you walk across the bridge, you’re first greeted with a vista of the Lutheran Church on site, aligning with its entrance as you walk along the footbridge.

21

Gauja Park Footbridge

Gateway The structure of the bridge is formed by tapered glulam timber beams held together in a triangulated form. Sited at the beginning of the national park in the town of Gauja, the footbridge acts as a gateway into the national park. Travellers must cross on foot or pass beneath the bridge by vehicle to enter the park and start their journey.

The idea of a ‘gate’ is expressed both in the structure’s crosssection as you cross the deck on foot or in the structure’s elevation, vehicularly as you approach and pass under the bridge, driving deeper into the national park. The structure acts as a landmark, signifying the beginning of an adventure.

22

Gauja Park Footbridge

Hanging Basket The bridge is designed as cable-stayed with three legs framing the Lutheran church on site. On the bridge grows flowers representing those found within the national park of which there at least nine-hundred varieties. I collaborated with engineers to understand how the cable-stayed and footbridge would work technically. The idea is that it is triangulated in the cross section, and able to hang from either side of the embankment.

We took some inspiration from Renzo Piano to understand how some of the technologies could be integrated to make it work.

The orientation of the bridge celebrates the Lutheran church on site. The bridge is straight in plan, perpendicular to the road and aligns with the entrance to the church.

23

Gauja Park Footbridge

Long Section The bridge is designed as cable-stayed with three legs formed from glulam timber beams. The structure is in proportion with the Lutheran church on the other side of the small pond. On each side of the bridge grows flowers representing those found within the national park of which there at least nine hundred varieties. Vehicular traffic passes under the bridge and deeper into the national park.

24

Glasgow Model

Model Craft A 1:500 painted foam model. We had a volumetric model in Sketchup to refer to, so worked with a wire cutter to produce the foam massing model. The model is constantly in use for a couple of sites in the city-centre. As you can see an MDF base was added to extend the city model to include the scope of future projects. The foam model sat on top of the Glasgow Map I built (shown in the first slide), to compare how the density of the city has changed in a century.

25

Calton Climate School

Education With a reputation for growing seasonal fres produce, Glasgow had at least six productive market gardens in Grahamston, and many breweries, granaries, bakeries and orchards scattered around the city. I have designed a primary school which aims to teach kids about the environ-ment through a climate curriculum which involves learning plant cultivation to produce food and medicine as a skill towards a sustainable future. From a legacy perspective, the climate school is part of a vision imagining Calton as a self-sufficient circular economy re-purposing vacant and derelict sites for urban farming.

26

Calton Climate School

Micro-Climate The school building itself generates both energy and knowledge from an intertwined technological and sustainable concept.

Firstly, the building is wrapped in an enormous duffel-coat, with the north wall super-insulated to avoid losing heat. The elevation maximising on solar gains is at the south. On the roof, children learn basic, sustainable plant cultivation techniques and concepts, like harvesting rainwater of which, in Glasgow, there is an abundance. The plants grown absorb a little carbon dioxide.

The materials from which it is built are mostly regenerative, such as glulam timber which sequester carbon.

27

Bothy The client, based in the north of England, Durham County residents can still have damp, windy winters so converting a well proportioned out-house on the family’s estate into a bothy-style holiday home seemed appropriate. Believed to once be stables for horses and then certainly a doctor’s surgery, the stone building lay mostly unused except as a store for tools. The proposal included using an existing fenestration and knocking though the opposing wall to create a northward and a southward aspect, which faces away from the original home and onto a well-maintaned walled winter garden. By scooping out the inside and fitting a core for utilities - cooking, cleaning, storage and a place to kick off your shoes and hang your coat, the disused structure could be repurposed as a guest house for visiting friends and relatives.

Restoration Over the course of several months, I embarked on the refurbishment of a derelict tenement flat located on Calder Street in Glasgow. I was in close collaboration with builders, plasterers, electricians, plumbers and removal teams. I comprehensively published information ensuring that each contractor had a clear understanding of the design intent through detailed drawings and specifications. The floor plan pictured illustrates the comprehensive layout of the flat. Key elements included the installation of a new lighting arrangement, positioning of new radiators, and a complete redesign of the kitchen area. The choice of materials was integral to the restoration; I specified cork for the flooring due to its sustainability and durability, while the walls and ceilings were painted white to enhance the natural light flow throughout the space. Additionally, original features such as the doors were whitewashed, and the transom windows were carefully restored to preserve the historical character of the flat. The overall aim was to create a cohesive and light-filled living environment that respects the heritage of the building while introducing modern comforts.

Restoration Acting in dual roles as both a third-party client and contractor, I was responsible for the detailed planning and execution of the kitchen redesign. The accompanying plan illustrates the new kitchen layout, strategically positioned on the gable end of the tenement, opposite its previous location.

This decision was driven by the need to optimize space utilisation, particularly in the south-facing kitchen area. By relocating the kitchen, we were able to open up the room, making space for a dining table or a desk, thereby enhancing the functionality of the living area. This plan was issued to the plumbers who had a diverse skillset and was able to fit the kitchen The drawing included precise specifications to ensure that the intention behind the redesign was clearly communicated and executed.

Restoration To further aid the contractors, a detailed elevation of the kitchen was drawn and issued, in particular to the plumber. This drawing highlights the vertical stacking of the kitchen units, a design choice made to leverage the tall ceilings typical of Scottish tenement flats for additional storage. The elevation provides a clear visualisation of how the kitchen components were to be assembled, ensuring that the practical aspects align seamlessly with the overall aesthetic vision. By detailing the exact placement and specifications of each element, the drawing served as an essential tool in guiding the restoration process of the kitchen, ensuring that the final outcome met the design outline and functional requirements set out at the beginning of the project.
