THE IRONWORKS

Building Plan

THESIS PROJECT NYU, London Master's Student Biophilic design strategies, historical research, and memory archives revive this dilapidated industrial yard located within Regent’s Park, London into a community hub. Lessons from the site’s past inform its best uses for the present, all the while retaining its unique architectural features. The goal of this project was to recover and celebrate the tangible and intangible heritage elements that have been lost to time on the site. Exterior Render

REVIVING HISTORY I was inspired by St Dunstan’s Hostel for Blinded Soldiers and Sailors, a rehabilitation site that once operated in Regent’s Park in the first World War which encouraged veterans to reengage with all of their senses in order to live fulfilling lives. A century later with the advent of technological devices which have numbed our senses, I propose that the Ironworks be converted to a rehabilitation site for the everyday person, with each building will be devoted to one of the five senses--taste, sound, scent, sight, and touch.

SMITHFIELD MARKET WORKPLACE REFURBISHMENT PRP Architects, London Assistant Interior Designer While working at PRP, I had the opportunity to assist with the refurbishment of our office space which is located in Smithfield Market in Farringdon. As a Certified B Corp business, we wanted to reuse materials and furniture wherever possible. I was responsible with sourcing the flooring finishes and acoustic panelling, assisting with the kitchen design, and designing new wayfinding and entry signage for the studio.

Existing Conditions

SUSTAINABLE FINISHES The new carpet for the architecture team's studio space needed to be durable for coffee and tea spills, yet not be too dark as the space already has low ceilings and limited natural light. Oak LVT was selected in an oak finish to complement the architectural models on display, and to bring in a natural element. The acoustic wood paneling enhances the sound quality of the meeting rooms and adds visual interest. The flooring finishes are compliant with Green Building Standards.

WAYFINDING DESIGN The dated MDF paneling in the entrance could be replaced with a sleeker black steel panelling system that would match the new acoustic panelling upstairs. The backlighting of the sign would also create a bold and eyecatching statement to visitors of the studio. The black and red palette would be replicated in all wayfinding signage to draw the eye and emphasise PRP's branding.

BROADWATER FARM ESTATE LARGE-SCALE RESIDENTIAL PRP Architects, London Interior Designer This social housing estate with a complicated history was in need of an interior refurbishment for its communal spaces. A new paint scheme, new flooring, and new directional signage are in the process of being specified for these housing blocks. The 1960s design of the buildings presents unique challenges for wayfinding and decorative elements. This project was an opportunity to work closely with both the clients and the contractor team at every stage.

SIGNAGE DESIGN The estate used to have stylistic black and white signage that was later replaced by standard institutional green signage which detracted from the aesthetic experience of the communal areas. The new concepts are based on the original signage designs.

HACKNEY SERVICE CENTRE WORKPLACE / CIVIC PRP Architects, London Interior Designer

PRP were asked to prepare Stage 2 and 3 reports for the Hackney Service Centre, an austere public facing building that needed to be more welcoming and hospitable to its emotionally vulnerable daily visitors. Acoustic treatments, wall colours, lighting, furniture, and artwork were specificed to improve the well-being and comfort of each room. Existing Spaces

Existing Conditions

A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT The HSC hosts a variety of sensitive activities, such as child protective services; registration for births, deaths, and marriages; and Council Tax services. The changes to the space needed to cater to these emotional needs, as well as neurodiversity, age ranges, and varying phsyical abilities. A reception desk

DESIGN INTERVENTIONS Calming palettes, soft furnishings, acoustic treatments and attention to lighting will transform these formerly sterile spaces into comforting environments for both HSC visitors and employees. These design changes are intended to facilitate positive interactions within these spaces rather than hostile and potentially violent encounters.

BATHROOM DESIGN RESIDENTIAL Arditi Design, NYC Designer & Drafter

This bold bathroom was designed for a young couple who had recently purchased a dated New Jersey home. They wanted a fresh look with a contrasting palette: black wood pops against cool white marble tile, and brass finishes provide some warmth. The existing bathroom was completely stripped and remodeled with new fixtures, millwork, and a new shower and bath.

MATERIAL REFRESH The outdated beige palette was replaced with clean whites, greys, and blacks. The linearity of the chevron shower tiling combined with the vertical fluting of the custom vanity creates a sense of contemporary cleanliness. The brass fixtures add a sense of warmth to the otherwise cool colourway.
