My introduction to the working world of architecture and interior architecture firms marked the inception of my passion for Adobe Photoshop and the design process behind renders and visuals. This journey began at LSI, where I collaborated with the marketing and design teams. Initially, my role revolved around editing renders for the social media pages, adhering to specific guidelines that allowed me to become proficient in the Adobe style. Being in this environment and going on-site visits reassured me that this was the future I wanted.
A competition for the the Portsmouth City Council to regenerate section from two streets, Highland Road and Albert Road. The sites specified were directly outside of shops and cafes that had a long history on the road. My group put forward a conceptual proposal which highlighted the history of the roads and combined the
With my family’s gradual return to Leicester, our home required much work. I was trusted to renovate and redecorate the house inside and the front garden. This role entailed, doing some decorating myself, finding and handling different contractors, whilst staying within a budget. From repaving the front garden to new flooring and carpets, re-plastering and repainting, my next challenge will be our back garden.

Design Brief
For this project, our brief was to create a conceptual interpretation of a museum of emotion and present it on a single A2 board. The challenge was to convey the intention and emotions of the architecture without the use of any text or numbering, including standard architectural elements like a scale bar or north arrow.
Process
Joining the team halfway through the project, my role was to articulate my team members’ vision into a digital mass model. I ensured functionality while also emphasizing the intended emotional impacts of the design.
Outcome
The final design is a rectangular structure featuring a large courtyard space, offering multiple pathways that lead to varied experiences based on user choice. Using a relatively simple massing, we incorporated multiple levels, diverse masonry, and various window openings to differentiate spaces evoking a range of emotions including anger, sadness, loneliness, happiness, hope, and fear.

MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING
“Poor neighbourhood design can act as a barrier to older people’s economic and civic participation, meaning that these potential resources are lost to society. Social isolation can also impact both mental and physical health, which may generate higher costs to the public purse through greater demand for health and social care service.”

WHAT IF ... SOMERSTOWN WAS IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT?
Garden city
Floating roads
Purpose of this approach
- Urban redistribution since it is very uneven, as seen by the infographic model.
- Age-friendly design and introducing multigenerational homes and neighbourhoods
- Preventing crime and providing a safer feeling neighbourhood through design.

MASTER-PLAN
ARCHITECTURAL SCALE
The aim was to create a multi-generational housing compound in Somerstown that enables cohabitation of multiple generations whilst integrating with the neighbourhood, maintaining privacy and improving safety.
I focused on redesigning the compound west of the hub and improving its circulation and urban layout. My response entailed a series of multi-generational homes with three floors, incorporating ‘floating pathways’, introducing a versatile corner block for residents and the public, and developing a central communal courtyard space that unites the different demographics.

It contains an entrance that can be accessed by the outside staircases leading to the scheme’s ‘floating road’ aspect. This serves as an additional entrance/exit for several purposes:
• Fire safety purposes
• Minimising unnecessary disturbances on the floor below
• Enhancing privacy between the oldest generation’s floor and the young family b

WINCHESTER NARRATIVES PROJECT
Reviving High Street Creatives
The ecology centre’s creative offerings encompass a revitalizing metal workshop to revive old practices along with a new creative studio that allows for a free-er creative outlet. To reduce the forceful insertion of a new building to the skyline and to allow for a taller building design, I offset the height of the ground floor by approximately -2m allowing for the added topography dedicated to the ecology centre. This also enabled the revival of the river Itchen on the site, which is currently a series of bus stops.

SECTION
Picking up on the creativity of Winchester and the emphasis on small businesses along the high-street, I wanted to create a journey like experience that unites the old and new creative practices of the city.
I created a topographical model of Winchester and cut a section through the high street. I arranged pictures from my first site visit and included random statements from passers-by. This section greatly influenced my final design proposal.

THE
Plan for the
changes:
A Textile Workshop for Vollers Corsets that includes a studio dedicated to sewing specialists and enthusiasts, a place to showcase the work and products and a cafe.
In response to Albert Road’s traditional red brick aesthetic, I chose to utilize this material while adding individuality to the building. The U-shaped design connects the showroom and sewing workshop, maintaining an open center to evoke a street-like feel. Perforated concrete walls at the café-showroom entry contrast with the red brick facade. Vegetation atop the cafeteria brings natural life to the urban setting.

Operating under the studio name “Studio C,” inspired by the core values of our major projects— comfort, care, and collaboration—we appointed three studio directors, including myself, to lead and oversee all phases of our project, ensuring it was completed on schedule and within budget.
Our studio’s theme, “dwelling tactics,” aimed to create a welcoming home-like atmosphere. Our design included a distinct entrance and exit with smooth, simple shapes, emphasized by a prominent window sill. We used stud walls for the structural framework, focusing on showcasing our site models.

LOVE-BIRDS’ NEST
Whitelands Project
Petersfield
June 2022
The task involved constructing a pavilion in a group using red cedar wood supplied by the Whitelands project and any materials we could find in the woods. We were equipped with hand tools, and a limited supply of screws.
My group conceived and crafted what we called a love-bird’s nest. We selected a location with a spotlighted aesthetic created by a gap in the trees.
Skills used:
- Team work
- Carpentry
- Time management
- Task delegation
