ADAPT & EXTEND
One of the key principles behind this design was to carry on the vertical rhythm of the surrounding buildings through the glazing mullions. The roof is accessible by the public which arives at the roof height of the srruounding buildings so you get views across canterbury to the Cathedral and Marlowe theatre.

COLLECTIVE DWELLING
Proposol for a collection of Student Dwellings on the River Stour in Canterbury.
Date: January - April 2014 Response: Playing on the industrial heritage of the site, I designed a building in a new industrial style. One of the key drivers of this scheme was to have varied communal spaces for student interaction. One of these spaces was the rinterpretation of the traditional hallway into a series of projecting booths for multiple or single occupancy.

Midland Canal Centre
Maintenance Worker (June 2010-Present) Midland Canal Centre is a boat building business based in Derbyshire. Here I learnt some of the intricacies of construction and how the design process works from consultation with the client to the delivery of the finished article. This Job has allowed me to exercise my skills in problem solving, precision and completing all work to an extremely high standard.
Blair Gratton Architects
Apprentice (June 2011 and January 2012) Blair Gratton is a family run practice based in Derbyshire that specialise in small to medium scale projects. Blair Gratton allowed me to join site visits, be involved in surveying and produce a variety of hand-drawn orthographics. Along with this I was able to observe projects at each stage of the development process, allowing me to understand how an office works.

INTERESTS Outside of my Architectural education I find time to relax and socialise through my hobbies, which are music and sport. Music is a key passion of mine which I have been dedicated to for thirteen years. This has given me the opportunity to tour Europe and represent my county Derbyshire, at a national level. Sport is a means of escape from work for me and a way to keep my mind and body focused, I am part of the University of Kent Men’s Rugby team which requires me to exercise my attributes of dedication commitment and team work.
GOALS My short term goals are to gain experience in an large interdisciplinary architectural practice learning the art of design and understanding the many parts that combine to relise a project. Long term I am looking to become a full qualified RIBA registered architect. Preferrably I would gain this qualification whilst remaining loyal to one architects practice that would allow me to grow with them through my part 2, part 3 and once I am qualified as an architect.
