FALMOUTH INTERPRETATION CENTRE
M. ARCH 2 ARCHITECTURAL THESIS PROJECT 2024
TYPOLOGY: Institution
LOCATION: Falmouth, Trelawny, Jamaica
SIZE: 4899.8 sq m.
The Falmouth Interpretation Centre is intended to be a monumental architecture at the datum of the diverging grids where the town’s history dissolves to create a new identity for itself It will be a space dedicated to showcasing and educating both locals and tourists of all ages on the relevance of the town’s Jamaican Georgian architectural heritage whilst creating a hub for the town’s history and its preservation.
The centre acts as a nodal point for highlighting one of the town’s main features, it’s architecture, where the traditional construction techniques are taught in a curriculum base as well as for tours to show the specific elements that come together to create the town’s existing architectural features
Site Plan
Elevational Development
Tharpe Street Elevation
The selected site for this Architecture Thesis Project is at the main gateway into the Historic town of Falmouth at the intersection of Market and Tharpe Street, both heavily travelled by vehicles and pedestrians. The diverging grids of the town’s major urban development over the years all meet at this intersection highlighting the site’s relevance to the display of the town’s urban fabric
It is situated along the redeveloped natural channel that runs through the town referred to as the “Dragline” that separates the original town of Falmouth from the new development that occurred within the 20th-21st century and that was proposed by the M Arch 2 Master Plan Proposal.
The site sits at the edge of the designated JNHT Historic District Boundary where there are design and construction restrictions to maintain the historic Jamaican Georgian architecture within the town

Photographic Essay
Application of Jamaican Georgian Elements
With the ideas of how spaces dissolve into one another similar to that of cultural elements which in turn develop a new culture or an undefined “third space ” , these photographs were taken to explore this narrative.
The images were then reconfigured into various iterations to create a threedimensional volume which was carved out and then modelled to give the concept depth and dimension and then applied to the site
The programme includes an exhibition hall that connects to the lime mortar, slop molded brick and wood workshops and testing areas where the techniques and principles that were observed within the town are put on display. In addition, a library that houses an archive to store the historical documents, drawings and artefacts related to the town’s architectural heritage.
The spaces were designed to allow the experiences of each to dissolve into one another, giving one the experience of being in one part of the programme whilst in another.

NORTH STREET ACADEMY
M. ARCH 1 PROJECT 2023
TYPOLOGY: Educational Institution
LOCATION: Downtown Kingston, Jamaica
SIZE: 4930.9 sq m.
Referencing the development of the qualitative piece and applying the overall design concept, the North Street Academy was designed to create an engaging and comfortable space for students and faculty to transition through their educational and vocational journeys.
This is to ensure the production of well trained minds suitable to serve Jamaica wholeheartedly and contribute to the continuous social, cultural and economic development of the urbanized island. The design reflects the notion of transition and transformation juxtaposed against the static nature of the urban grain of the Downtown, Kingston location

MONTEGO BAY STUDY TOUR - AS4 2022
TYPOLOGY: Cultural Centre
LOCATION: Montego Bay, St. James, Jamaica
After analysing the movements of the Breadfruit dance being performed by a classmate, I took note of and modelled the different arm movements made From this, the original form was developed to create the current design
This Rastafarian Cultural Centre to be located on the Hip Strip of Montego Bay, was designed to be a space where both locals and tourists would be able to learn, “overstand” and appreciate the authenticity of the Rastafarian lifestyle as not just a tool for tourism but as an actual way of life or “livity” that has been an integral part of Jamaica’s culture.
Site Plan
