01 YEAR IN PRACTICE
PLACEMENT: JM ARCHITECTS
YEARS: 2024-2025
After finishing my undergraduate studies, I joined JM Architects as a Part 1 Architectural assistant working on numerous projects in the residential and commercial sector. This experience has allowed me to apply my academic knowledge to real-world projects as well as learn and develop new software skills both for design and technical drawings. Working alongside senior architects and Part 2 assistants has helped me to improve my understanding of architectural regulations, construction and precurement strategies. Below I present Vyner Street- a residential building accommodating 1-4 person(s) flats. I have conducted site visits, spoken with clients and contributed to the progression of the project from Stage 1-4.

The north elevation is materially brickwork. The brickwork is broken up by four horizontal ren der bands. At the base level, the canal walkway runs along the proposed water line as part of a two-part canal wall design with an external protection line against the original canal and an inner line of protection against the building. To the east side of the canal walkway a number of steps and four seared type steps mediate the level difference between the canal and Vyner street

PLACEMENT:
YEARS: 2024-2025
During my placement, I had the opportunity to do a feasibility study for Goffs Oak Village, This proposal aimed to provide local residents with a community center, additional parking spaces and support spaces. I have developed the proposal for this new site with the intention of matching the programme, density, heights and material palette of the consented scheme in the revised site area. Working alongside a senior architect, we discussed and planned possible design layouts for the site plan.
(Above) The centre has wide pathways on its main sides and looks west towards the park. At ground level. The scout centre can benefit out. The gable end has windows facing north avoiding solar gain.

This project required the design of mixed use developments for multi-generational occupants in Kent, Canterbury. The ongoing housing crisis and consequences of COVID-19 restrictions have been catalytic to the design of communal spaces for all inhabitants to interact and partake in communal activities. My design features a brick facade, intentionally chosen to harmonise with the existing arhchitectural context of the site and maintain visual continuity. A communal landscape area improves biodiversity and acts as a natural drainage system. To further contribute to sustainability, I have used biophilic design features on the facade of the building.

04 URBAN INTERVENTION
PROJECT LOCATION: CHATHAM, KENT
PROJECT YEAR: 2022
This project required us to redevelop and reinvigorate Chatham Intra using our landscaping and urban planning abilities. The focus of the design was to revive the cultural aspects of Chatham and create an interactive, communal space for its residents and the public. The main features implemented into the proposal was soft landscaping, natural gathering points and active frontages to foster community interaction. My proposal also aimed to facilitate new pedestrian routes connecting Chatham High Street to the riverfront as a means to improve biodiversity and sustainability.

PROJECT LOCATION: CHATHAM, KENT
PROJECT YEAR: 2023
This project required the design of a community-led service in one of the 4 streams: Culture, Education, Wellbeing and Work. Having chosen the stream Wellbeing, I designed a Social prescription Center on Chatham High Street as a service to those who suffer from mental health. It is a non-clinical approach to the improvement mental health that is not always solved with medical treatment; an opportunity for people to interact, learn and heal. The building’s design incorporates the reused steel frame from the previously demolished structure promoting sustainability and resource efficiency. Green roofs have been designed as natural drainage systems and to improve biodiversity on the site. Timber material has been intentionally used on the facade due to its low carbon foot print, durability, and lifecycle.
