NDA Project 01
This masterplan project involved the renovation of a site featuring Grade I and II listed buildings into a five-star resort and golf clubhouse. The proposal included four new villas, a ballroom, front-of-house and back-of-house facilities, staff accommodation, and car parking. Due to the presence of these protected buildings, the site was located within a UK conservation zone, which required careful attention to preservation guidelines. The design process involved close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team throughout RIBA Stages 0-3. As a team, we effectively addressed various design challenges, and prepared the necessary documentation for the design and access, heritage, and planning applications.

Connection 02
This group project aims to foster connections between people, nature, and the city through an integrated system of ‘connectors’—social hubs replacing traditional public transport stops. These connectors, developed in five adaptable prototypes, promote community engagement, well-being, and sustainability by incorporating features like water recycling, educational spaces, productive gardening, and markets. The project hopes to evolve over time where by 2030, as public transport replaces private car ownership, these hubs will reduce carbon emissions and transform roads into green corridors. Whilst by 2050, the connectors will be fully integrated into the city, offering nature-based solutions and creating meaningful, frequent connections for urban populations.

The projects were featured in an article in the town’s daily newspaper “Efimerida Lemesos”, where I was interviewed about the themes, processes and my future aspirations as an artist. The artwork later received the highest A-Level grade in the school.

The
This project seeks to reconnect the two main communities of Brick Lane—the Bangladeshi and LGBTQ+ communities—through the use of fabric, a material of cultural and identity significance to both groups. The chosen site, located within the renowned Truman Brewery’s Upmarket, currently has a planning application for a mall and office building, replacing a culturally significant space, crucial to the economic well-being of the community. The project presents an alternative to the existing planning application, ensuring that the needs and expectations of the surrounding communities are prioritized. To achieve this, the design process was informed by thorough contextual and community research, including interviews, installations, and historical analysis.

The Domus 04
With the Manchester School of Architecture’s lease at the Manchester Technology Centre expiring in 2028, this proposal envisions a new contemporary educational facility that promotes unity, diversity, belonging, and well-being. The design incorporates the Three Horizons and Futures Cone Frameworks to anticipate future changes and ensure adaptability in response to unforeseen circumstances. Key considerations, such as spatial sizing, structural patterns, materiality, and sustainability, have been integrated to create a durable and flexible environment that can evolve with future needs. Additionally, the project embraces an adaptive reuse strategy, inspired by Dafna Fisher-Gewirtzman’s concept of ‘parasite-like’ structures, to explore how prefabricated elements can be repurposed with a focus on health, safety, and sustainability.

The project investigates adaptive and resilience urban design strategies to address the challenges of short-term urban fluctuations caused by global events such as migration surges, economic shifts, and climate impacts. By focusing on resilience and adaptability the project explores how dynamic urban systems can respond to rapid changes in land use, density, and infrastructure demands. Computational tools are employed to test and evaluate flexible spatial configurations enabling the development of innovative urban typologies that balance functionality, sustainability, and inclusivity. Aim is to develop a responsive framework for East Manchester that supports evolving community needs while addressing broader environmental and societal challenges.
