This Design has been prepared to accompany the application for the redevelopment of 10-11 King’s Mews, London, WC1N 2HZ. The site is currently empty, presenting a void along the mews street frontage. The site is flanked on either side by 3 storey private residential properties, generally with basements, either converted from the original mews buildings or new built in a style that follows the essence of the original mews buildings.

The proposal is for a three storey (plus basement) residential building to include 7 flats.

The planning commission advised the retain of the reusable building blocks of the previous facade as the area is of a historical significance.

The 3D BIM model study (below, both pages) conducted to minimize errors during the erection and construction phase in order to maximize coordination and final results.

Currently the project has been built and BIM 3D models have been used throughout all RIBA stages. More specifically, all planning amendments and even after built drawing packages were submitted through this model.

The project assignment was to propose ideas and strategies for sustainable development at Scottish Borders after the completion of the railway reconnection with the mainland Scotland.

The railway is expected to provide massive growth to the area as property values are expected to rise and while more and more people will prefer to live outside the cities and commute to work. The reduce in commute time will play major significant implications as investors and developers will foresee to capitalize from it.

Our team focused in Stow a small village with a great natural habitat surrounding it. The main road (A7) is passing through the village and constitutes the one and only connection point to the rest of the country. The proposal was to develop strategic urban development proposal as growth has been considered as irreversible.

The prediction in numbers based on data of similar case studies, usable agricultural land, free range livestock, climate change, flooding and architectural optimization were the main topics that determined our proposal.

Appleton Tower is a building located in the center of Edinburgh, in George square within The University of Edinburgh campus region. In this project we were given the frame structure of this particular building as initial framework and were asked to redesign & develop a concept that could be applied in different weather conditions and environments around the world. We selected Dubai as our location, due to extreme weather conditions and needs that are far opposite to UK standards.

Our basic concept and development was inspired by middle eastern vernacular architectural techniques.

Specifically, chimney ventilation systems were selected to cool down the building and mashrabia façade system in south view to protect the building from direct sunlight exposure. Chimneys, were developed in such way that could be transformable in order to adjust volume according to condition changes and building needs. In this way, energy demands were lowered significantly and according to calculations conducted, the spaces are functioning according to passive house standards.
