Modular Residency

Modular Residency

Coaling Island, Gibraltar

Working for Chapman Taylor Architects’ Manchester studio, I was tasked with conceptualising and presenting a proposal for a modular-based residential complex for a site located in the Cormorant Wharf Marina on the west coast of Gibraltar. The finalised design comprises of sixty 16000x4600 container modules across 4 stories which accumulates to create 93 studio apartments, 3 communal balconies, a concierge entrance, a resident parking lot and a restaurant situated on the ground floor. In addition, the proposal features a façade design inspired by the site’s previous use as the Royal Gibraltar Yacht Club, after being previously freed up by the Ministry of Defence Boat Squadron.

Hospice Refurbishment

Hospice Refurbishment

Macclesfield, Cheshire East

22

In June 2023, I was appointed an internship with Chris Murfin Architects, Cheshire East. The project was to be a redevelopment of East Cheshire Hospice Wellbeing Centre (ECHWC), an undertaking that was to supply a new extension in the form of an additional exterior curtain wall glass façade, pitched roof system, internal refurbishment with new layout, solar panelling, and a redesigned courtyard area with folding doors to internal space. The following works are the outcome of the program, which were subsequently presented to Chris Murfin and the board of directors at East Cheshire Hospice. The project was able to gather full backing as a result of the visualisations – entering completion in early February 2024.

Peckham Arch

Peckham Arch

Southwark, South London

36

The University of Westminster is tasked with redeveloping the Peckham Arch site for commercial use. In this proposal, the envelope system of the two buildings is comprised of a timber frame, CLT panels, wood fibre insulation and external timber weatherboard cladding. The use of timber in the majority of the structure allows for a material that is structurally strong, aesthetically pleasing, versatile and easy to install.

The material is also fire safe due to charring properties (part B Approved Documents). The building features natural cross ventilation, clerestory windows for cooling, green roofs for biodiversity and photovoltaic panelling.
