01 HARVESTING AND RIPPLING
Our initial investigate begins on the variation in hedgerows’ physical makeup across territories and record this through drawings and models. Loosely basing our project on Culross, Fife, we investigated contrasts, heavy and light, stereotomic and tectonic, nature and man-made.
We developed a series of keywords that underpin our propositions, responding to the essence of our hedgerow:

02 RETTING, BREAKING & SPINNING
With hedgerows as a starting point, we designed a place that accommodates and includes a ‘Community Food Store’ that addresses the scenic qualities of its landscape, along with ecological, wildlife, and natural issues. Developemnt of programme were elaborated on site visit to an urban community mushroom, investigation in food storage methods and a series of precedent alongside the hedgerow abstractions

Located at the sinuous relief of the hills of Belleville and Ménilmontant, La Route acts as a threshold of the bustling streets of Rue des Pyrenees to the quiet neighbourhood surrounding Rue des Cascade
With programmes such as communal kitchen and artisan workshop, La Route embodies the fundamental belief that social sustainability is quintessential in the conversation of cohabitation
Once greeted by the stepped silhouette and the artisan bricks, user enters through a series of stairs before arriving to the ‘heart of the design’, a communal square where one could access and engage with the active ground floor. The gently reclining structure enables the democratization of sunlight whiles offering expansive views towards the central of Paris

03 IN PLACE
Gayfield School of Architecture is an innovative design school for post graduates that fosters creativity and production at its core. Located at the bottom of Carlton Hill and over looking the leafy Gayfield Square in Edinburgh’s New Town.
Experimentation, craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability are the school’s core values. These values openly engage with the public through access onto the tranquil roof garden cafe which allows them to view the often-unknown process of design in the makers courtyard, in addition to viewing the exhibition of final products within the garden and on the ground floor of the studio.

This project consist of the renovation and the remake of fragments of the case study building - Crookery Hall, thinking though material approaches in sequence
Thinking about 2074 necessarily entails thoughts of our own ageing bodies, but also the changes to the fragile environment which houses us and our constructions. A series of parasitic addition is proposed to the Victorian Mansion
