.I N T R O Peckham is a district located in South-East London in the borough of Southwark. It is one of many major centres within the Greater London region. Peckham is a vibrant place, high in density, bustling with multiculturalism, populated by a large socio-demographic mix of residents, workers and commuters. Its main axis of activity (Rye Lane and Peckham High Street) is well connected by bus and train (London Overground). When population density is high, inner city social and environmental problems are severe, and green/ recreational space is vital – something drastic must be done. There is scope for progression without having to fall into the gentrification trap of many other centres of Greater London such as Shoreditch, Clapham, or Stratford, where developer-led growth has shown to produce unprompted zones of sterile landscape and urban decay. It is therefore important for Peckham to encourage future planning and development of the area with great sensitivity to what the community needs, and to retain its individuality so as to not destroy what truly defines it.
.B R I E F The Peckham Branch aims to provide scope for the future of its local businesses, residents and public spaces by way of thoughtful planning of its main shopping centre and its surrounding residential, creative and industrial areas. Understanding Peckham’s social identity is vital to the makeup of a broad scale planning framework to prioritise preservation of social character, improving the health of users in dense urban environments, and exploring the feasibility of affordable housing allocation. This is sensitive regeneration, planning and designing space in the interests of the existing community and local businesses whilst overseeing the inevitable process of change.

.I N T R O This project is focused on a derelict car park site located between Sheffield city’s central business district and a university campus. The streets are bare, the sense of place non-existent, and its identity displaced. Yet the urban make up reveals much more than a cover of broken tarmac and weeds. It is frequently used as a thoroughfare for students and commuters. Its surrounding architectural and aesthetic qualities are highly distinctive; broken brickwork, weathered paving, and bold structural features. Workmen also operate in the local workshops and warehouses to this day, which bear historical significance to its industrial past.
.B R I E F Influenced by what is already there, the design philosophy explores themes and processes of decay and natural growth in abandoned sites. From concept to construction proposals, soft and hard landscape elements are intended to provoke and stimulate notions of change and temporality.

.I N T R O Clarence Dock is part of a regeneration scheme along the river corridor of Leeds. The waterway, which once served the city for commercial and industrial use, had undergone vast improvements during the early 2000s to extend Leeds city centre outwards as part of a major citywide program.

I worked within a team to undertake a fictional character study for a vacant refurbished warehouse on the canal side. By way of lifestyle choice, we assumed the day-to-day activities of these fictional characters and how they are likely to use the public realm and our site of choice as it is. This exercise was an exploration of human behavioral habits in the existing landscapes, and how intervention can alter and positively benefit the lives of those surrounding, particularly in an urban setting. By cross-examining the activities of our individuals, a consensus for habitual trends for use in landscape began to emerge; thus formulating a spatial strategy for our site, and leading to the inception of design objectives.
