2020 Metamorphoses Final Undergraduate Project

Ashton Court College of Woodland is a 1625 special educational needs college sited on an historic agricultural estate. Following a curriculum drawing on Steiner, Morris and Ruskin, students learn to transform material from the natural world and in so doing, transform themselves. Beginning their journey around the safety of the cloistered courtyard, students progress, in stages of increasing skill and interaction, to working on the public street, selling wood products and wood fired cuisine produced by them on the estate.

Students grow in confidence and instil a sense of value within themselves.

A reinterpretation of a cruck frame echoes the site’s history in traditional agricultural forms, while using small timber sections that can be locally sourced and worked in a low tech way. The craft required for construction does not exceed that which can be taught at the college.

Right: As well as providing essential life skills, the college trains students to become stewards of the land. Working on the estate [blue] fosters a holistic understanding of materials outside of the school boundary [red].

An opening in the existing listed wall defines the route of a new pedestrian street, linking two large facilities to the site, providing customers for lunchtime trade.

The circular form knits the existing buildings together and to the street, forming a courtyard. 24 radiating lines of structure integrate both the 15 degree skew of the street and the axes of the existing buildings.

The traditional cruck uses the natural curve of a split oak, and requires central tying. The fabricated cruck is closer to a true parabola and thus is stable. Horizontal division becomes a spatial choice.

The existing site is bounded by high red sandstone walls which create a sense of safety and security. The listed segment is maintained and existing openings are used.

The sensory garden acts as both an escape and recalibration space, vital for students with autism.

The building uses two heights of cruck frame. The lower cruck creates intimate attic spaces when split, as shown here in the staff office, with staff room below.

The upper areas in the bigger crucks also create calming spaces - such as here in the art room.

2020 Space for Another Time Personal Projects Working with Museums and Historic Sites

This is a series of ongoing experiments, ideas and projects exploring the possibilities of virtual and augmented reality for telling stories from the past and allowing users to explore historical environments. ​ The primary project is an interactive virtual tour of the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, which will allow visitors to explore the building as it was in the 18th century and hear stories from its past. The Bath Medical Museum hopes to develop a virtual ‘Museum without Walls’ throughout the city, highlighting its rich medical history, with this site being the first. 3D scan data from the present site and historic drawings will be used to construct the virtual model, from which I will make an interactive video.

Augmented reality is also being explored by Historic England, to allow visitors to see how their sites and buildings appeared in the past.

2019 Public Venture Undergraduate Group Project Runner-Up Basil Spence Prize

The long-running Basil Spence Project sees architecture and civil engineering students at Bath working together in teams.

The 2019 brief asked for an adaptable innovation centre. This building offers a variety of presentation and meeting spaces for innovators to share ideas with the public, in order to attract support and investment. The architecture models and encourages a future of innovation that is transparent and democratic.

People are able to commit capital directly, as crowdfunders or shareholders, to the long term goals of businesses, avoiding the typical short term approach of intermediate banks or funds. ​ Materials and components are leased rather than bought from manufacturers to foster a long term responsibility for them and their end of life. As the built environment around the site densifies, the flanking cladding panels will be switched from transparent to translucent, and the old panels used in the new neighbours’ façades.

My work included designing the geometry of the presentation spaces and ramp, and modelling for the renders. The concept sketch was drawn by me, as were the GA sections.

2018 Venetian Fields Undergraduate Study Trip Project Oculus Prize Winner

For Venetian life to continue there must be a vision for the future that sits within the existing framework of the city, supports the local population and allows the support of tourism.

The components of the gondola workshop and training centre are inserted like freestanding machines into the burned out ruin, leaving it as a fractured faรงade through which visitors may catch glimpses of the craft. The lightweight structure acknowledges the fastchanging landscape of the modern world.

It may become redundant and be replaced without constantly overwriting the slower world of the past.

The apprentice apartments are for vulnerable local young people, who are normally priced out of Venice. They cluster around a shared second floor loggia, from which all may be accessed, some via internal staircases. The result is a complex warren of unique spaces around a common social area, a microcosm of the Venetian campo - the Venetian Field.

A double-helix staircase and double-sided lift allow a single core to serve both buildings.

2020 Blee Halligan Work in Practice I am currently working at Blee Halligan, a small practice based in London and the Turks and Caicos Islands. I initially worked from their London office in Shoreditch, but am now working from home.

Two of the projects I am working on include a UK country house and a Turks and Caicos holiday house. All images shown were drawn by me.

The UK project replaces an 18th C. Hall demolished in the 1950s. It was important to balance the monumental presence this typology demands with sensitivity to the parkland. Working on the elevations, I aimed for a balanced harmony in fenestration whilst avoiding rigidity. I created voids through the building via the inset balconies and the back of the carport to allow light and views through either end of the mass whilst maintaining the overall silhouette.

I worked on my main Turks and Caicos project from its conception, developing the 3D in tandem with a colleague working in plan.

The house is conceived as a series of jostling planes rising up to the ocean, supported on stone clad fins. This creates a variety of sunny and shaded areas.

2017 - 20 Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners Apollodorus Architecture Work Placements As part of my degree at Bath I have undertaken two placements, totalling 14 months, at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Apollodorus Architecture where I worked as an Architectural Assistant. I have also worked an additional summer at each firm.

At RSHP I worked on planning applications for a number of volumetric modular construction projects (top) and Hammersmith Civic Campus (bottom). My tasks included completing GA drawings, creating apartment layouts and producing design and access statements. Both drawings are team drawings where I played a significant role.

Work at Apollodorus, shown overleaf, involved developing designs of high end residential and interior spaces. Tasks also included scheduling and tender drawings. Limited work is shown due to project confidentiality. Images were drawn or rendered by me.
