LINCOLN
THE URBAN FARM
BRIEF
LINCOLN
Public green spaces are a premium in Lincoln. Its dense medieval city plan leaves few public spaces - so when a space is underutilized and in a state of disrepair it is a wasted opportunity to enhance the city. Liquorice Park is such a space in the city of Lincoln, overgrown and underused it has become a no-go area for most people. It does, however, have the potential to become a key public space in the city. By transforming the site into an urban farm, it will reintroduce food production onto the site and attract a mixture of people to use the site and its facilities.

NOTTINGHAM
LACE ARCHIVE AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE
BRIEF
NOTTINGHAM
Until the first world war, Nottingham was the largest producer of lace in the UK. The industry was largely concentrated in what is known today as the 'Lace Market', a quarter-mile square area in the city centre. Densely populated slums emerged in the nearby Broad Marsh and Narrow Marsh areas of the city to accommodate the large numbers of workers the lace-making industry required. The back-to-back terraces were cleared in the national slum clearing programme in the early decades of the twentieth century. Lace has been making a resurgence in British Fashion, with the lace for Kate Middleton's wedding dress recently being exhibited at the Design Museum in London. This project aims to 'initiate a contemporary relationship with Nottingham's historic / traditional lace industry', by integrating a Lace Archive / Pattern Library, Activity Space and Social Space into an architectural intervention that would occupy a prominent site in the city.

In the Victorian slum which occupied the Narrow Marsh area of Nottingham, which this site is part of, the population density was 300 people per acre. 180 people would have lived on the site, one person for every 13m². The building is based on a 13m² grid to reflect the history of the site.

MABLETHORPE, LINCOLNSHIRE
SKATEPARK
BRIEF
Mablethorpe is a small seaside town on the Lincolnshire coast. As with many seaside towns it has been in decline for a number of decades. This has particularly affected the young people of the town, where, faced with poor job prospects and a lack of opportunities, anti-social behaviour is high.
MABLETHORPE Social, environmental and economic sustainability was at the heart of this project, and by providing a landmark piece of architecture for the youth, it brings them back into the community they feel so detached from, reducing antisocial behaviour, and therefore reducing the amount of money spent on maintaining the town. The skatepark was part of a larger group project to create a masterplan for a section of the Mablethorpe seafront.

CONTEMPORARY CERAMIC ARTS CENTRE
BRIEF
LINCOLN
Starting with an investigation into the ceramic making process and a study of post-modern ceramics, the Contemporary Ceramic Arts Centre provides a gallery, cafe and workshop facilities for artists working in the medium of ceramic. The building sits at a junction between the popular Brayford Waterfront and a busy road and flyover. The current site is used as a short cut by pedestrians and cyclists, this route is maintained, splitting the site in two. This provides a natural separation of the private (workshop) and public (gallery and cafe) parts of the building. The gallery and workshop are connected by an upper gallery, which allows users to observe both from an elevated position.

EXTENSION DESIGN
BRIEF
A ground floor extension to provide additional accommodation for a semidetached house on a 1960s estate in a Cotswolds village. Working closely with the client I produced planning drawings for a ground floor extension to provide a larger kitchen, new lounge and a new bedroom and en-suite.
