Residential Projects 3D Reid Architects Eboracum Way, York I worked on this scheme from pre-app stage producing sketch site layouts and visuals to formal planning submission, which involved the production of a Revit model to produce floor plan drawings and a SketchUp model to provide massing studies and street views of the proposed scheme.

Eboracum Way Streetview

This was a good chance for me to work on a medium scale residential project and developing apartment types within a small complex site. It also allowed me to develop my SketchUp skills and propose an elevational design which considers the surrounding context.

I was involved in the massing and design Debenhams Proposals | View of Existing Leisure Scheme and Debenhams of different phases of the masterplan redevelopment. The first phase of the redevelopment required the design of the Phase 3 Masterplan Layout main entrance to form a new atrium with a food court and associated landscaping externally, incorporating and expanding the adjacent units as well as the modernisation of the rooflights and main ‘streets’.

New bridge link @ street level

In addition I was involved in proposals for a number of external areas and their integration within the wider landscape plan.

It was interesting to work closely with a number of existing clients within the development to enhance their frontage and public areas. 3D Reid also developed landscape proposals for this particular phase of the scheme which is an area of design which I have experience and enjoyed working on.

Personal Experience 1991-2019

“

I am originally from Moscow, where I started my architectural education, completing the 6 year architecture course at the prestigious Moscow School of Architecture.

During which I attended a number of architectural summer courses at British universities which bolstered my education and inspired me to study full-time in England.

While Russian education has reinforced my technical and theoretical sides, my english degree developed my creativity and research abilities. I have successfully completed my one year MA in Architecture, Planning & Landscape with a view to comple the Part II & III courses in the UK and qualify as an architect.

More recently I moved to Birmingham in 2018 to begin my first placement year as a Part I Architectural Assistant. I also enjoy horse riding and play polo for the Leeds University polo club.

International Experience February 2008 to August 2008 Design Assistant, KRASNOV Design, Moscow January 2013 - October 2013 Architectural Assistant, PORTAL Architecture, Moscow

Professional Experience Architectural Assistant

Achievements Student & Professional

Professional Accreditation Part I Architectural Assistant

“

• Course Representative for 4 years in previous study and now.

During my study I also undertook the Part I ARB Prescription of Qualification examination. During which I submitted work carried out throughout my architectural education to achieve Part I RIBA accreditation status.

As a Part I Architectural Assistant I am currently employed by 3DReid Architects in Birmingham, As a large AJ100 practice I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of sectors, predominantly residential and retail., as well as masterplanning and mixed use workplaces.

During this time I have worked under the guidance of an associate director to produce work across RIBA workstages 0-4 from feasibility studies to concept design proposals as well as technical detailing for tender packages. This involved the use of CAD drafting software, 3D models and visuals as well as hand sketching and post production software such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.

During my work I have been trusted to communicating with members of the design team as well as directly with the client. I would now like to develop this knowledge with a new practice towards becoming a Part II Architectural Assistant.

UK Experience Feb 2017 - Jun 2018 Architectural Tutor to BA Architecture and MA Planning and Landscape courses Newcastle University

”

• Led a number of social and architectural projects during the study period.

• Involved in students volunteer projects for Moscow and Newcastle University.

• Participated in international architectural competition as a part of a team in Latvia, Kuldiga 2013.

• Employment experience in international architectural firm as architectural assistant.

• Employment experience in UK based AJ100 practice as architectural assistant.

This demonstrates that my work and ability is equal to that of a Part I architectural assistant here in the UK. However I believe my additional education and professional experience have put me in a stronger position.

Since achieving this accreditation I have demonstrated my ability to work at the highest level as a Part I Assistant for an AJ100 practice been involved in a wide variety of projects across different work stages.

School For All Years Newcastle University This school building is orientated around an inner courtyard, which forms an indoor pupil recreation area. The building is designed to fully utilise the site in the most effective way through simple stacked block forms to allow for the maximum amount of green space for students. The project was designed to combine children of all years and consider the special requirements of each group.

Classroom daylight calculations (Above)

The design provides communal relaxation space, has flexible study rooms and top floor halls for school events, and was been designed to comply with British Standards and Building Regulations.

Main Elevation

The colour and order of the façade was influenced by an abstract Mondrian painting. The design also caters to the local communities needs and the children’s by ensuring maximum daylight into the teaching spaces.

Technical drawings exercises were carried out to demonstrate a consideration of daylight, ventilation, and choice of materiality to create a comfortable environment. The thermal modelling and sustainability features are based on the Green Building Index.

‘‘St. Lawrence Community’’ Social Housing Newcastle University St Lawrence community is a large scale residential housing projects influenced by the experience of brutalist social housing.

The idea was to create a new community with a people friendly city environment inspired by modern architectural theories and ideal living standards.

The site was split into three areas surrounded by public spaces and greenery, with student, social and family type accommodation. Each flat type was designed for a particular social group all in accordance with the national space standards. The project has shared communal spaces within connected buildings, public lounges and rooftops as well as communal balconies to encourage the connections between residents.

‘CYCLOTEL’ Newcastle University The task was to design a hotel with a number of functions, attractive to cyclists: to develop a concept how design proposal will support not just touring cyclists but also enhances the local cycling culture and how it contributes to the local culture in general, consider cultural relevance for Gateshead and Newcastle, study the unique context and environmental conditions.

The project provides facilities for cyclists as well as for the public and passing cyclists and walkers. The concept is to use the strongly functional & sustainable structure, which resembles industrial past as well shipping container. The area will be divided into two sections: social, active area where various functions take a place, and residential are for hotel visitors.
