Profile
I am currently in my final year studying for Bachelor of Arts (Hons), Architecture at Liverpool John Moores University.
I have a great passion for Architecture, and the relevance of its sustainability and environmental impact on the natural world.
I am a friendly and inquisitive person with a bright personality and a dedicated mindset. This helps me to interact with new people on a day to day basis.
In my personal time, I enjoy being with family and friends, going on walks and embracing nature.

1. A Modern Project - Jubilee House, Cultural Performance Centre
Jubilee House
Cultural Performance Centre
Jubilee House: The concept behind Jubilee House is to create a landmark within an emerging district, The Ten Streets. With the recent development of Everton Park Stadium, Jubilee House will become another iconic public venue, focused on cultural engagement within the area. Located along the main road of Great Howard Street, Jubilee House is set on an unused, derelict park that has been left unattended for decades.

Gummer’s How: Climate change, Research, Information and Exhibit centre serving the Lake District.
The concept for my design is one that uses predominantly renewable resources. Wood features extensively as both the structure and cladding for the building aswell as the interior. The design method allowed me to raise the building out of the ground using stilts to sit on the landscape

Up Learn
The project will be developed for use as a ‘Wood Workshop’ to be used by the local youth community, many of whom come from deprived backgrounds with little or no direction. It will offer them the opportunity to learn and develop new skills. Parts of the project can also be used by the public, for example the cafe and the courtyard area.
