About me

My name is Mia Perry, I have currently just finished my third year in Liverpool John Moores Univeristy. My ambition to study architecture first started when I was in year 9, which has guided me through to were I am today. I have shown particular interest in the environmental aspects of design in my projects and have enjoyed exploring different design techniques throughout the course.

Comprehensive Design Project- Ropewalks Spa Princes Dock

For this project we were given a brief to create a building that incorporates water. My main focus for this project is to encourage socialisation in a spa environment and how the ropes attached to the outside structure can be used to play with light/shadows whilst having a privacy feature. After researching how different cultures and communities interact at a bathhouse I found a repetitive pattern in all which was the socialisation aspect of a Spa. Many of the precedents I looked at encourage natural open water swimming as well as an indoor pool. Therefore for my project I have created a natural water swimming area which has an indoor/outdoor feel as well as two indoor pools, sauna and steam room pods and a well-being/relaxation room.

In this project I focused on how I can incorporate biodiversity within the building; I done this by having three wild growing roofs to attract wildlife, a green wall on the South side of the building that grows grapes and an indoor/outdoor garden in the library. The purpose of the building is to encourage the public to use the facilities that they have in the surrounding nature reserve. Not only is the building used by schools and the public for talks, it has a small lab where staff can research the wildlife nearby.

Hilbre Island Project

For my Hilbre Island project I designed a multi-functional building which is used for scientists who are studying the birds and wildlife on the island, and exhibition space for people to display their findings and a bird watching room. Due to the location of the building, I have included viewing spaces on top of each of the building so visitiors could get the best view of the surrounding area.
