The Theatrical Life Tutors: Margit Kraft, Rosemary Hervey Year 3, Semester 2 This project comprises of two parts; a co-housing scheme for a collective of set designers and theatre crew, and a set design workshop-theatre. Situated in South Bermondsey, the site is caught up in a state of flux between providing more homes to subdue the housing crisis while also ensuring the creative and industrial heart remains intact. The proposal plays a delicate balancing act between these two opposing forces by combining the industrial aspect of the set design workshop-theatre with the co-housing scheme for the designers. Hence, it meets the housing requirements of the local populous while also tackling London’s need for more purpose-built set design workshops. In addition, the research conducted for this project will be used by the CASH community land trust to inform their next co-housing project.

House for Home Workers Tutors: Margit Kraft, Rosemary Hervey Year 3, Semester 1 The brief called for a residence for a protagonist group of home workers (a psychologist, writer and photographer) who were members of a cooperative. The project was built around the concept of an ‘Instagrammable House’; wherein every space becomes the perfect backdrop for a photoshoot while responding to the individual and collective needs of the occupants, and celebrating their daily rituals. 18
The Corner Building The chosen site was situated at the corner of a lonely street that received very little footfall. Hence, the building had to perform three functions: activate the area, negotiate the tricky topography and utilize its corner position to announce its presence within the site.

The building sits delicately upon the nearby slope and embraces its corner position to encourage traffic down the lane

Winslow Railway Station Tutors: Maija Viksne, Christopher Pendrich Year 2, Semester 2 The Winslow railway station is one amongst many stations being re-opened as part of the Varsity Line proposal put forward by the government to connect Oxford and Cambridge through a railway corridor. This proposal serves as a pilot project on how the new stations could be constructed within the overall scheme while serving its locale’s needs. 24

Private Residence A VSHD Design, 2021 Interior Design For this project, I got to work on the interior design scheme for a number of spaces and worked across conceptual, schematic and technical design work stages. My scope of work involved proposing the design ideas, sourcing materials, putting forward furniture ideas and working on the technical details and initial drawing packages. 25
Confidential drawing: plan, section and elevation of the proposal’s outdoor pool house
Private Residence B VSHD Design, 2021 Architecture & Interior Design This project was a new build architecture and interior design scheme for a private villa along with an outdoor pool house and servant’s quarters. I was heavily involved in the initial spatial design of the main residence and also worked on its facade design. Furthermore, I designed the layout and elevations of the servant’s quarters and the pool house as well. 26
