retail & performance Term 2 & 3, Stage 3 | 110A Marylebone HIGH ST, London | music retail & performance
At the end of third year, my Final Major Project gave me the opportunity to choose not only a brief of my choice, but also a host building. The brief that I chose was for that of a centre for classical music, incorporating retail spaces, performance space, recording studios as well as repairs and teaching spaces. The host building was incredibly challenging, as it incorporated a series of individual buildings which had been linked together to form one large, incoherently laid out building . The aim of the architectural changes was to create a sense of unity between this series of buildings . I also had the same aim in relation to the interior, to draw the eye between spaces, using large furniture elements as well as smaller freestanding pieces. A variety of materials are found throughout the building, chosen to highlight the beauty and forms of the instruments.

term 2 stage 3 | join competition win | keynes college Senior common Rm, UNI. KEnt.
During my final term at Kent, the opportunity arose to enter a competition for the redesign of a staff space on campus known as the Keynes Senior Common Room. This project, undertaken jointly with Anya Gordon-Clark spanned just over a week. The brief requested the redesign of the interior of the 1960’s space, including new furniture, lighting and additional functions. We chose to divide the space using a central seating element, into four zones. One group seating area, one casual seating area, a lobby space and a work/servery space. Throughout the design process, we developed the idea of a calming, relaxing environment where university staff could go to get away from work. The colour scheme which has a grey base with green accents, is inspired by the Keynes College colour.

exhibition
Term 1, Stage 3 | West Cliff Hall, Ramsgate | Camouflage & art
My first term stage three host building was West Cliff Hall, Ramsgate. The former concert hall, has fallen into much disrepair and been further damaged by its most recent incarnation as a motor museum. The brief for this project was focussed on the catalogue of objects from the Casson Mann ‘Camouflage’ Exhibition as well as a selection of cubist, pointilist, vorticist and futurist artwork. To incorporate the exhibition as well as the ancillary facilities it was necessary to extend the building. Capturing the materiality of the existing building, my planned extension was of cast in situ concrete, with shutterboard imprints. The exhibition itself comprised of a range of metal exhibition displays, as well as artwork displays which were suspended from the ceiling, tin contrast with the grounded exhibition cases. p14 Event // Upper Second Class

art hotel
Term 2 & 3 , Stage 2 | 30 dalby sq, margate | art hotel for global nomads
This projected centre around the conversion of a victorian terraced house in Margate, to an Art Hotel and exhibition/events space. The art hotel comprised of a series of residential self contained studios, as well as a cafĂŠ/restaurant. These alongside a large exhibition/event space formed the brief for the building. To incorporate the necessary facilities, it was essential to extend the building to the rear. The major new space incorporates the exhibition/event space, which meets with the cafĂŠ/restaurant space through a series of voids which stretch from basement to first level. Above this space are the artist studios. To the front there are three large studios , and to the rear three small studios. The studios each have a smart-glass wet room and adjacent kitchen space as well as a small lounge area, a workspace and a sleeping space.

art & performance
Term 1 Stage 2 | folkestone pilot station | art & performance centre
The brief for this project included the adaptation and resuscitation of this once private building into a public amenity for the people of Folkestone. The initial brief included a 100 seat Theatre, a cafÊ, an archive space, exhibition space as well as the necessary ancillary facilities. During the course of the project, I adapted the brief slightly, the cafÊ becoming a bar, something which I felt fits in quite well with new restaurants in the area as well as the theatre. Inspiration for my proposal for the building comes from many sources, but something that I was immediately reminded of on my first visit to the building was Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water House. The strong vertical and horizontal blocks on the building brought to mind the similar characteristics of Falling Water House.
