Volume Zero Tiny House 2022 Architecture Competition

Completed not long after graduating from university. I tried to use this competition as a way to put to test the skills I had built upon and improved throughout third year but not had the opportunity to implement in my work completely. Designed as a tiny home for a retired couple, the project had to be no larger than 27 square meters. enjoy using fast physical models as much as possible, but felt these, quickly produced with balsa wood and pins, to demonstrate particularly well exploration of unfolding and sliding design elements explored in the project.

“Concretopia” (Foundation Art)

After establishing a brief focused on exploring the state of the built environment in my home town in Croydon, I used my finding as the basis for producing 3d and relief work. “Concretopia” draws from the book of the same name by John Grindrod, which explores the utopian nature of Britain’s post war architecture. Constructed from readily available materials, drawing inspiration from work by artists such as Phyllida Barlow, the project sought to examine the simultaneous states of decay and growth now present in the town’s architecture of forgotten utopian ideals.
