My contribution Sole design development of all streetscape, Natural Wadi, Park and Plazas, Courtyard, Roads, Parking, and Public realm typologies. This also included detail development of furniture ‘kit of parts’ strategies and types relative to a district’s intended use. Development of Masterplans of certain districts with large range of scales and detail complexity.

In addition, I also played a major role in the final execution of multiple vital renders for key spaces throughout both the masterplans, bringing to life detail, to create a believable, look, feel materiality, scale and plant types – all combining in an inspiring and compelling urban realm visualization. The client specifically commended the accuracy with which the street typologies and visuals captured the essence and feel of real Saudi Arabia.

Stronyaraig Farm - A private project, in collabiration with a local Scottish Architect. Converting a disused dutch barn, into a holiday let cabin and getaway. Located near Dunoon, Scotland, 100 miles east of Glasgow.

RIBA stages 0 to 7.

October 2020 - Ongoing

A selection of Visuals from concept and planning application views for the Kennel Cabin.

The Project This is a sperate private project, outside of my work for Gillespie’s.

Looking to develop some skills in creating architecture on top of just public realm environments. Working on a remote farm in Scotland, two quick designs for existing outbuilds, including quick renders, plans, elevations, and basic details were create as part of a planning application to the local planning office. One, and old gun dog kennel, and the second a Dutch barn conversion.

STRONYARAIG FARM, CABIN & DUTCH BARN orem MARCH 2021orem

The Work The work developed over the space of 3 months, originally starting with the development of the old dog kennel at the highest point of the site, creating a single-story cabin using the same footprint and back walls of the existing structure. The location change however when the Dutch barn located at the lower site was decided upon a better location, this build started out as a 2 storey, elevated living quarter as seen in the draft visuals below. However due to Scottish disability regulation’s and suspected cost, it has now been reduced to a single story similar to the Kennel cabin.

My contribution

A selection of pre planning concepts and visuals for the change from kennel location to Dutch barn. These visuals to be reassessed in April.

Original concepts, 3D modelling, Renders plans and elevations. With collaboration with a local architect to check designs against local planning law, costing, and contractors.

The Whipz Nickname has stuck since 2015, named for my energetic and excitable nature. Since it has stuck, thus informing the Brand name “Whipzspeed”. The speed taking inspiration from the Famous “ZaKspeed” official ford team Capri’s of the 70’S. I designed the livery, logo, brand and merchandise to help support my 2021 Rally campaign, Along with some little graphic cartoons snippets. A separate side project which has been printed onto team gear, for myself, my codriver and others who wish to support. The livery will soon be printed on vinyl to warp the car before the start of the rally season.

Neom Mountains - A quick-fire completion entry. Feeding into Bogle Architects entry developing conceptual billionaire mansions in the Neom mountains. Feeding into the Bold Neom vision to build a new model for the new furniture.

The Project

Nov 2020

Neom is a planned border city in the Tabuk province of NW KSA. It is intended to function using SMART City technologies.

The Work This was a quick-fire competition spanning just two weeks. We fed into the Bogle entry for the competition and we provided inspiring Landscape elements for the five billionaire mansions.

My Contribution Working with a small team our focus was on developing bespoke environments for each mansion. Five projects in one. We needed to tell the story of the spaces and intent, showing just enough detail to give a sense of place with out going too deep and creating too much workload for all involved in the design competition submission. A creative challenge.

This was achieved through diagrammatic axonometric visuals.

I was pleased my suggested approach was adopted for the competition.

Competition result is still pending…

The Work / Project

TERRAIN VAGUE, URBAN FUTURES

My largest personal academic project, worked on for both my BA and developed further in my MA. Aiming to showcase the potential of very specific urban spaces, ultimately illustrating the potential of how they can enhance human experiences. The project winning 4 awards in 2018.

BA dis, 2017/18 MA dis 2019 - Feb 2020

The main visual the final TVUF project submission.

Capturing the very essence of the concept and its ideas of space transformation.

This project start as my BA thesis, and was developed throught to the end of my MA. This projects places a heavy emphasis on the enhancement and regeneration of “Terrain vague” area in our urban environments.

Specifically those under & around large road and transport infrastructure. Aiming to showcase the potential of these urban spaces, and ultimately how they can develop to enhance the human experiences.

Creating an innovative design concept and scheme that stretches the limits of landscape architecture and our urban futures today.

The vision Creating a design vision and idea that can be transferable to similar sites internationally.

Developing such complicated urban environments will always house a host of unique problems and issues regarding different site specifics, but the potential benefits that these innovative design concepts and schemes could bring to our cities urban canvases are extraordinary.

The Vision: it’s all about the human experience The Project, explored under Birmingham infamous Spaghetti junction place the human experiences and interactions as the biggest & most important factor in creating a successful site or sites. This 24hr, 365 day a year social, economic and environmental hub will nestle itself unapologetically under & between this unique road network structure.

Enhancing character, boasting the local economy & creating a huge sense of place and pride for the city of Birmingham. Helping the city move towards its numerous goal around

becoming a international renowned green city and leading innovator; ultimately “Putting Birmingham back on the map” as stated by their new 2031 big city plan.

Design elements; 1+2+3+4

Project awards

The concept has 4 main components. The biggest and most important being the human factor aka “Life and the site”. The site must offer something for everyone, no matter their age, nationally or interests; whether it’s for work, pleasure or learning; the site must provide some form of experience of everyone.

The other components of the concept for the site include the introduction of the multiple natural climates and biomes, the innovative use of height between the ground layer and the overhead roads; and the creating of a solving structure, with the ability to deal with numerous issues related to the site whilst also controlling and crating the desired environments, temperatures and linking landscape needed to support the multiple natural Biomes and site life.

Sept 2018- june 2019

The Project What if, like the natural world, our cities and their spaces could become truly dynamic and Intelligent, adapting and changing to the everyday…

This concept investigates an idea of “Intelligent urbanism” or “Smart spaces”, which essentially will describe our urban canvas as an Intelligent living organism, one that changes depending on circumstances. Rather than spaces existing as set pieces throughout our cities. The book explores the concept of this and its basic principles. Looking at how this could transform our urban habitats, and what possibilities it could bring with it.

The idea aimed at 2040-50’s sees a totally interconnected system of the city. Using new tech systems and Big data amongst many other things to allow for these intelligent spaces to adapt to the minute, hour, day, week, month, seasonal and yearly changes and events unfolding in our cities on a day to day basis.
