Previously, a vulnerable location of enemy invasion by water in WWII, the Fairbourne community in north Wales faces a new kind of amphibious threat through sea levels rising; threatening the physical and social sustainability of the local residents.

The new threat is not however going to invade in the same place as before...rather, the sea levels rising will partner with the Mawddach Estuary and approach the local community from the north of the site. Previous knowledge of this likely occurrence has meant that an embankment has already been erected in preparation, however, it will only be maintained for the next 40 years. What the community will rely on after this time in still unclear.

ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE - the narrative for this project was inspired by past defence mechanisms employed at Fairbourne during WWII through community-built pillboxes and anti-tank barriers. This site artefact because the inspiration for me to create an architectural language that captured an essence of the historical context into the final form of the building. Above is a typology matrix of the many variant types of Pillboxes that would have been built during the world wars. It is rare to see pillboxes and anti-tank barriers so well preserved as can be observed at Fairbourne.

LANGUAGE APPLICATION + SKETCH DESIGN - the project utilised the architectural language from the historical artefact to generate unique spatial qualities in the final form that were present in both plan a section. The scheme also piloted a new technological innovation of the ‘gravitricity tower’ which converts gravitational potential energy into electrical energy to be distributed later and therefore store excess energy prodcued from the national grid. The sketches above demonstrate the technical considerations of the tower’s design.

In the final year of my undergraduate studies, I enrolled into the ‘SusLab’ design studio unit. SusLAB proposes that sustainable success will need to prioritize positive social wellbeing and environmental impacts ahead of short and medium term economic gains and that positive political support must recognize this and legislate and regulate for such prioritization.

In this project I will be exploring the potential of energy generation from biomass. The scheme will address the fuel poverty and inefficient consumption of energy in the hubtown of Market Harborough, in the UK.

Low employment of school-leavers and unskilled residents, as well as a shortage of affordable housing are other issues that are considered as part of the project.

This project explores masterplanning at the city cityscale in district 1 of Bucharest, Romania’s capital. The project interrogates the socio-political history of Romania conflicts and proposes a new regeneration model for strategic peacebuilding in the city.

The design employs strategic peacebuilding to assist in platform building in the city. This is to help individuals, communities and society at large to develop more meaningful connections with each other.

Part of the masterplan aims to promote healing from past conflicts through a dedicated cultural centre on the east side of the site. On the west side of the site, is a stronger emphasis on educational facilities.

This project follows on from the masterplan displayed on the previous pages. An educational facility from the masterplan was chosen and developed further into an entrepreneurial hub. This responds specifically to the current trend of bringing back the Romanian Diaspora, which is the desire to incentivise people with entrepreneurial ideas back to Romania and Bucharest through funding.

This building will explore rammedearth and engineered timber in a hybrid-construction system that promotes a productive environment to provide socially-conscious enterprises.

A brownfield site located east of The Stanley Docks complex, located in the Vauxhall area of Northern Liverpool, is sandwiched between two urban communities of old and new.

The Eldonian Village, a communitybased housing association, is an embodiment of the shared history of the area, who are committed to the livelihoods of their population and the regeneration of the former industrial area. On the west side of the Stanley Docks site is the newer Ten Streets initiative, run by the Liverpool City Council to develop the maritime site into a diverse commercial, and heritage sensitive complex of businesses and other ancillary amenities.

On the border between England and Scotland in the UK, on a land which has been the subject of debate, lies a humble community which goes unnoticed on the most part by the average passer-by.

Taking inspiration from the hamlet typology, (a collection of individual architectures without a public function), this proposal depicts a micro-village within the hamlet. Its intention gives visitors, the chance to pause and reflect on their journey between these two countries and perhaps learn a little as they indulge in a hot beverage on top of the beacon tower which shows off the spectacular views of the natural landscapes. While for the local residents, the centre becomes a pub for community engagement.

The river soar runs through the heart of abbey park in Leicester city. A location which is characterised by the orderly arrangement of trees along the riverside and seasonal views.

I was inspired by the natural formation of masses and voids in the riverbank and the tree canopy, which offered mini vistas or of the beauty of the park. I wanted to capture this idea in my architecture by exploring the manipulation of a solid mass and how to make purposeful voids for revering the landscape and strategic massing to offer public and private living.

The brief for this project was to create an outdoor education hub for school children to receive lessons about Sacrewell Farm and sustainable processes. Accompanying the education hub are camping pods.

In the second variation, the design is amended to retrieve some of the lost connection to the historical and local material selection and typology. The introduction of rammed earth walls and timber shingle roofs emulates the original strategy.

This final variation has received an updated cost evaluation that would shave off 300k for the whole project and maximises the build area with the desired program. Placement

The site is currently overgrown and abandoned. A listed boot factory lies dormant on the site and proposal seeks to bring new life to the forgottensiteat the heart of town. The proposal aims to provide the local authority with a large quantity of social housing units in the heart of a midlands town, to serve young familiesandindividuals.The project engages with various funding bodies and had to consider the heritage status of the factory building in the design development, to preserve the historical landmark.

This project is immediately adjacent to a number of local amenities and has good connection to existing transport infrastructure. This project required the use of ‘teamwork’, a BIM level 3 capability in Archicad, the company CAD software. This meant that multiple team members worked together on the 3D digital model of the project at the same time.

During the project I was asked to jump on a number of individual tasks and packages. The first was a full drainage schematic for the project. I created drawings and consulted with the service engineers on the project via teams to agree ‘pop-up’ positions on the floor slab layouts.

I was part of a team who collectively produced the GA drawings. Placement

This project involves the building renovation of an abandoned and derelict hall. Taking over project from previous architects. RIBA stage 4 technical design and construction. The building involves 50% demolition, a proposed new roof to fix leaking problems and the introduction of external insulation skin. The existing building will be converted into dwellings with a buildings regulations M(4)2 and M(4)3 priority. Being introduced to more frequent work in RIBA stage 4 meant that I was exposed to many new terms and drawing conventions. These often stimulated questions that I would ask of my mentors or other practice colleagues.

These pages demonstrate various projects that engaged in the planning stages of projects at the practice. These often involved working closely with clients to understand the brief and explore options for the designs.

Some projects involved restorations of existing buildings, while others explored new-builds that could sensitively fit into an existing context.

These projects where primarily directed by other architects in the practice who needed assistance to produce drawings.

These images are representative of an agglomeration of projects that I was involved with during my architectural placement at ALA Architects in midCornwall, UK - 2021.

Building on my visualisation skills gained at university, I used Adobe Photoshop in variety of ways from illustrations to photo-realistic renders with enscape to produce images used in RIBA stage 2/3 of project applications and for the practice website.

During my time at ALA Architects, I gained experience on RIBA stages 0 - 7 with the majority of tasks relating to stages 2-4.

POLYMERMEDICS

Extension to existing manufacturing & injection modelling facilities.

ALA Architects Projects, Cornwall

Project scope: 1.5M software/cad/techniques

» Vectorworks 2D + 3D

» Adobe InDesign

Another medium-sized project I was involved with during my time at ALA Architects was this schematic design for a new extension at Polymermedics.

Polymermedics is a manufacturing facility of plastic products including recycling old plastics into new products like insulated flasks. In addition to this, Polymermedics are heavily involved in the production of lids for the AstraZenica vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence a new extension to their existing facility is proposed to improve their capacity.

15 LOCKDOWN GAZEBO

Placement Year

In 2021, during one of the mandatory COVID-19 lock-downs, I completed a gazebo design and build project with my dad at home. This project was a way in which we could revitalising our garden and to create a flexible space that could be used to enjoy the outdoors more during a time when everyone was trapped inside.

The home gazebo went through multiple iteration in sketch and physical modelling form before we began re-laying the patio and create concrete footings for each of the corner posts. For the rafters and the external cladding of the project, we reclaimed materials from someone’s lean-to and wooden planks from many residual pallets.

Inspired by this process of creating with my own hands, I then joined a group of friends on my course at Loughborough to do a timberframing course in Shropshire. The course lasted 1-week and we were taught traditional mortise + tenon joints that we used to create two porches for real clients out of European green oak.
