About Me

Hi, I’m Sam, a BA(Hons) postgraduate looking to complete my next step in the road to becoming a credited Architect. Throughout my undergraduate years at John Moores, I have enjoyed developing my design skills and exploring varying routes throughout each stage of a multitude of projects.

The passion for design that the course amplified within me is expressed within my work especially my sketch book where I rationalise my thoughts in designing for a better future.

In my time at Liverpool John Moores University I have been able to develop a multitude of skills from my ability to clearly communicate the delicate thought process behind a project through carefully curated drawings and models aswell as the ability to audibly convey it, which with further refinement will be useful when discussing with clients. Depending on the porject I enjoy being flexible with my workflow and my time at University has helped me experiment in this department where I see fit with my exploration of varying model types with the end goal of explaining my designs with a personal favourite being structural frame models and how their beauty alone consolodated in me a personal design style of using exposed structural components to create a transparent understanding between users of the building and its structure.

At One With Water

A reimagined Roman Thermae, the project revolved around reconnecting a community by working within the needs of those in the surrounding apartments. Focused on providing facilities that bring more than just the luxury of bathing, the concept delves into social interaction by experimenting with spaces that evolve to suit the needs of those it serves.

Location - Liverpool’s Princess Dock

Based upon the structures of both the Pantheon & The Ctesiphon Arch (the world’s largest brick built arch), the design was reworked to accomodate such a structure. To the south of the arch the cloister that forms the circulation spaces acts as a buttress whilst the walls on the north side get thicker towards the base inorder to accomodate the forces that act
