ABBERTON WATER TOWER
01
Type: Residential Total budget: £100 000 approx. Stage: RIBA 3 Planning
This project involves the conversion of an existing water tower into a private residential tower within a sensitive context. Due to the proximity of neighbouring residential and community buildings, Planning Officers were concerned with the upper floor views acting as an ‘observation deck’ that could intrude on resident’s privacy. We responded with a ‘controlled’ accessibility method to the upper floors with a stair core which focuses the view on one direction. Since the water tower is comprised of in-situ concrete, we decided to use a grey weathered larch cladding to in-fill the gaps of the structure in order to not contrast too much. The ground floor has an additional space that would allow for a living room, kitchen and utility space. Although we have had some objections, this project is still on-going and awaiting for Planning Permission.

Site is accessed via Goldhangar Road
There are two main advantages of this site:
easily accessible from the main road with plenty of access to nearby ecclesiastical and community buildings
1 the 2 see
The generous natural solar gain due to building height; And views that grant the capability to far into the distance

The main concern of this site was its overbearing view onto neighbouring residential buildings. The view was controlled by focusing it’s arrival approach on the roof terrace away from residential amenities but towards community chapels instead. We believed there was an opportunity to create a visual connection between the two buildings and the upper echelons of our proposal
LOS distance approx. 50m
On top of those challenges, since this was a sensitive conservation area, the design could not be so dramatic to the point where it disrupted the georgian architectural language

THE HYDE
02
Type: Residential Total budget: £750 000 Approx. Stage: RIBA 3 Planning
This project involves the conversion of an existing farm barn into a private house. The client already had Planning Permission for a previous design from another architect however, the style was deemed not ‘modern’ enough and too small since there was only one storey. The main challenge was to maintain the external dimensions while making space for a second storey and to come up with a modern and minimalistic design. Since we could not increase the height or width of the building, the design implemented a basement (half-storey) which would be within the constraints of the existing Planning Permission. Additionally, we placed the living space on the upper storey to have access to the landscape views and natural light. Due to the materiality of existing neighbouring barns - we could not use massive amounts of glazing and instead opted to hide them with timber slats/louvers. This is a more recent project and we are awaiting Planning Permission for the material changes.

conceptual diagrams: initial ideas from previous architects
Existing building was a monopitch roof
First iteration was to simply increase the height of the monopitch and add basic glazing elements
Second design revision was to do a gable style roof with a more controlled southern glazing facade
The final iteration before the client moved to our office was an experimentation with a rounded roof

conceptual diagrams: our proposed design
We decided to stick with a gable roof shape but chose not to increase the height
In order to meet the clients demands for a two storey building, we decided to create a sub-basement level for the bedrooms
We wanted to enhance both the outdoor and indoor connection and circulation spaces by ‘slicing’ the corner of the gable
more glazing locations were placed so that visual links can be connected from the car park entrance all the way to the back farmland

EAST HOUSE
03
Type: House Extension Total budget: ÂŁ200 000 Approx Stage: Riba 4 building Regulations to Tender
The client has recently purchased a large mansion with swimming pools and external large fields. The main challenge was to increase the living spaces at the rear and front of the building to allow for level access throughout the building. This project was challenging as it was heavily time-constrained since the client only had one year to fully construct the extensions before he had to go away for a long business trip. Planning Permission was obtained in the Autumn of 2020 and has passed Building Regulations so it is now going into the Construction stage where a contractor and structural engineer have been brought on board. My involvement was picking up the project after the Planning stage and providing a full Building Regulations package ranging from technical details, contacting suppliers and consultants, and basic specification requirements for materials.

extension c
extension c is going to be completely demolished and re-built with a rendered brick construction method, this room is going to be the music room so the height will be increased to 150mm below the existing windows. this increased height will also allow for more crisp sound quality. the ground level is much higher compared to the north extension buildings. therefore, we have utilised a solid slab foundation

THE MILLION UNKNOWNS
04
Type: Research and Workshop Total budget: Student Project Stage: Concept Design, 2018
In Japan there exists a phenomena known as ‘hikikomori’. It was discovered by a psychiatrist called Saito Tamaki and he defines it as: “a state in which a person confines himself to his own room or home and does not participate in society for six months or longer.” This is a very extreme form of social isolation that seems to exist solely in this country. this project is a programme that serves to teach people about timber. From the tree lifecycle to the raw material of a tree and to the refinement of wood products. This is a ‘psychological technique’ designed to help the people in Ferguslie Park (the most deprived area as recorded by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation) to escape their suffering. The architecture in this thesis will provide a workshop (a place) to help the people find skills in this industry. The main aspects will include a library, a carpentry and joinery workshop, kiln and log storage.

the individual: analysing the struggles hikikomori’s suffer from internal psychological strife due to japan’s cultural and social conditions. it is to my understanding that the 30 year economic stagnation has further amplified these modern day hermits. from this study we can extract a similar model outside of the country - scotland

types of crafts there have been studies conducted by psychiatrists and psychoanalysts that show positive brain chemistry with physical activities associated in particular with hands. a prolonged lack of stimuli (due to idleness) amplifies exponentially feelings of worthlessness and anti-social behaviour

traditional joinery and carpentry is a skill that boosts brain activity and helps enhance cognitive abilities. starting from small joinery techniques the progression leads to what i identified as : ‘psychological architecture’

the hope for these individuals is symbolised and replicated via craftsmanship throughout the structure. joints in particular are the main focus of such details. therefore the proposal is to craft an accommodation to accommodate for more crafting cycles, therefore this creates meaningful individuals of society
