About me

I am a 21-year-old Interior Architecture graduate with a passion for creating innovative and sustainable designs. Throughout my degree, I explored a wide range of design techniques and skills that I am excited to develop professionally.

During my time at LJMU studying Interior Architecture, I designed an array of projects advancing from residential developments in my first year to large-scale hotel proposals by the end of third year. Several of the buildings contained grade I and II listed elements, which made me aware of the significant historical features within that led me to showcase them in my designs.

Outside my studies in Interior Architecture, I enjoy travelling and experiencing new cultures, I have always been fascinated by the presentation of different cultures through architecture, and hope to expand my cognizance of global architecture within the future.

BA Year 3 Semester 2: Comprehensive Design Project the bleisure inDustry

AS1 Detailed Spatial Design

For my CPD report I choose a building located on Castle Street in Liverpool, for this project we had a brief of a ‘Bleisure’ hotel.

My concept for this building was to create a public space for all types of people in society, as upon research I found Liverpool is lacking in safe sheltered public areas. I designed the building with this in mind to and provide the city with a civic gift.

As there are two distinctive sides to the building, I was able to use this to my advantage and created two sides to the public space, one being a sophisticated elegant area with a central water feature which flows into the basement making a curtain around the bar, and the other being a more rough and ready area that encourages people to use the space in a creative manner.

For the structure I have proposed a sub-basement section with a cut-out in the ground floor, in order to achieve this I have added additional steel structural support within the basement and ground floors. I have made a 1:50 detailed model of the proposed structure that will support the building.

BA Year 3 Semester 1: Integrated Design 2

Digital Webform

AS1 Detailed Spatial Design

For this project we were asked to plan the interior spaces within the Bank of England located on Castle Street in Liverpool. We were given a brief of a 24-hour office with adaptability at the forefront. Each specific area needed to be flexible. We had to design a space for the major activities used for digital web forming, a think tank, promotions and sales and product development. Along side this we needed an exhibition space to showcase the products, with a restaurant and bar.

My concept

Custom glass fixtures made in the workshops, displayed, used and sold in the bar/ restaurant. The ability to host public workshop sessions in the rear end of the building. Glass fixtures throughout the building made in the workshop which can be designed online and collected in the shop. Alternatively customers can come and design items in the shop with the team.

BA Year 2 Semester 2: Explorative Project integrateD Design

Located on Water Street within Liverpool’s Commercial Business District.New Zealand House was an office building and shipping warehouse in 1893.The architect was Walter Aubrey Thomas a Liverpool based architect best known as the architect of the Royal Liver Building.

This project was to create a venue using the existing New Zealand house Building that can host a range of events. I aimed to design the building into a flexible venue space that would allow more variety of `events to take place. I aimed to create a space with a modern twist to the old layout of theatres.
