With over 1 year and 9 months of experience as a Landscape Architect at Exterior Architecture, I have immersed myself in both theoretical knowledge and a diverse range of software applications. Throughout this time, I have actively engaged in projects of varying scales and types, striving for continuous improvement and a higher level of professionalism.

I firmly believe that a proficient designer not only possesses technical skills but also harbors a genuine passion for their craft. This passion drives me to approach challenges and complexities with a critical and rigorous mindset, enabling me to propose innovative methodologies that adapt to the evolving demands of the world.

Additionally, I understand the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone to foster creativity and embrace new challenges. I am committed to pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box to bring fresh perspectives to every project.

MASTERPLAN

Purfleet Centre Regeneration

Large scale mixed use masterplan on the River Thames in Essex

Key Facts

ROLE Landscape Architects

DEVELOPER PCRL and Swan Housing

ARCHITECT KSS, AHMM, dRMM, TP Bennett

DEVELOPMENT 2,850 new homes, two new schools, film studios and town centre

STATUS Outline Planning Consented

THE PROPOSAL

With planned development of major film studios, the proposed masterplan looks to re-imagine Purfleet; through a vibrant and creative town centre; active river frontage; neighbourhoods of strong heritage character and extensive open space network.

LANDSCAPE STRATEGIES

A number of strategies were developed, focusing on aspects such as circulation, play, character, blue infrastructure. The Masterplanning process also called for a specific, sensitive assessment of the sites ecology. In consultation with Buglife and RSPB, an ecological strategy was developed that not only meets mitigation requirements, but draws on the sites historic and proximate ecological context to create a rich, biodiverse green infrastructure throughout the site.

FURTHER APPLICATIONS

As well as an Outline Planning Application, Sub-framework and Detailed Planning applications have also been submitted. ExA were also responsible for creating and detailing the Site Wide Green Infrastructure Strategy and landscape aspects of the Site Wide Design Code to inform all future phases and subsequent applications. The development of these required a detailed resolution of the overarching themes of the masterplan at an intimate scale, through aspects such as materiality and plant communities.

Key Facts

ROLE Landscape Architects

CLIENT London Borough of Southwark

ARCHITECT Farrells

SITE AREA Hatcham and Ilderton Roads, OKR 16

STATUS Completion

London Borough of Southwark Council appointed Exterior Architecture, Farrells and Gbolade Design Studio to lead the pilot for a National Model Design Code which is the only one of its kind trialled on a site in London, specifically Hatcham Road and Ilderton Road (OKR 16). This document is intended to be read in conjunction with the Old Kent Road Area Action Plan. This document built upon existing master planning and design guidance, focusing and incorporating issued raised during extensive public community consultation sessions.

ExA have demonstrated that good design can’t be one-size-fits-all; it must be representative of the diversity and richness and individuality of different neighbourhoods. This document provides a strategic design code used to provide clarity about what is likely to receive planning permission whilst striking the right balance between instruction and flexibility so it can robustly manage change over the whole plan period.

This process was a huge collaborative undertaking between consultants, who we worked closely during the entire prorgramme with the client, integrating their comments, as well as the community review panel’s feedback.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE (GI) AND DESIGN CODES

A new network of green spaces have been indicated on the site that evenly distribute access and visibility of green spaces across the neighbourhood and provides habitat corridors to enhance biodiversity.. Codes to increase the site’s GI value are; to specify a diverse range of tree and planting species in relation to the character zone, biodiversity net gain of minimum 15% should be achieved, and utilise roof spaces and podiums to increase urban greening factor.
