I see architecture + design as a responsibility rooted in placemaking and the contemporary vernacular, applied through considered material, socio-cultural and historic contexts.

Synecdoche, Molenbeek explores the surrealism of architecture in cinema.
The thesis brings social prejudices to light by providing a centre for flm production, screenings and community workshops to showcase the multi-cultures in Molenbeek, Brussels. Through this platform, the thesis presents surrealist representations of architecture in flm and establishes Synecdoche as a concept to represent Molenbeek’s socio-cultural identity.

The Barras Youth Hub provides a much-needed respite and opportunity space for the young people of Calton and the Barras.
As part of Glasgow City Council’s ‘Integrated Children Plan’, the council-funded scheme will offer accessible space for young residents aged between 10-19 years. The hub offers a variety of learning, leisure and performance environments to cover a wide scope of non-curriculum and creative interests the young user group may have, to encourage alternative modes of learning alongside and after their school life.

GSA Sustainability Prize 2022
Joffre Dumazedier states – ‘Leisure is activity – apart from obligations of work, family and society, to which the individual turns at will’. This notion ties in directly with the relationship between Domesticity and Labour – one cannot exist without the other, but both are dependent upon Leisure as an outlet for their sustenance.
Bare Necessities! examines the requirement for Domesticity and Labour to exist within the typical residential unit, where such commodities are stripped back to a minimum to allow for an increase in Leisure activity within and beyond the dwelling.

An existing school pavilion building in the Green Belt of Nottingham, an adaptive re-use was proposed as an eco-pre-school for local childcare.
I was asked to produce a full planning application for the project including; design + access statement, material specifcations, construction phase plan, demolition plan. A public consultation was hosted where members of the local community came and gave feedback on the proposal.

Earthwor-m addresses the impact of construction and engineering practices on earthworms. The proposal represents the ever-increasing urbanisation of the natural landscape, which is being irreversibly altered due to industrial development – namely construction and agricultural cultivation. Through a contrast of linear and organic forms, a steel scaffolding structure shelters the entire site,suspending a pink, worm-like structure above the soil below.

On a 1700sqm site of an existing public house, RDA were commissioned to design a new £1.5million childcare facility with provision for 92 places across age groups 1-4 years.
The scheme is based around a courtyard garden with a playful approach to massing, creating vaulted classroom spaces. I was involved with RIBA Stage 4 tender drawings.
