CONTENTS ‘ any act of construction involves the allocation of finite space and resources (both social and ecological) and thus inevitably causes certain side effects which affect society as a whole�
This feasibility study looks at how to maximise the proposed residential acommodation, within 3 blocks, which are part of the proposed Edinburgh St James’s Centre masterplan, which has been granted planning permission. We proposed one option, to increase the number of units by creating a narrow central street through the middle of blocks B & C. This also gives an attractive raised street environment and lots of bright and airy dual aspect units.

The Brief Working within the framework of the approved masterplan by Fielden Clegg Bradley, the brief calls for theprovision of approximately 200 Private Rent units and associated amenities along with approximately 40 private-sale units. I worked on this project as part of a 6 person team of architects and architectural assistants. HTA propose 3 blocks - JAB, J4A AND J3. Two of them connected by southfacing linked courtyards, and the third landmark block adjacent to them.

J4A
J3
My main duties to date have been modelling up block J3 in REVIT and producing all drawings from the model, modelling the site on sketchup, and producing rendered elevations and sections.

The Brief To design a new mixed-used neighborhood of high residential density on a city central site. At an urban level, your proposal needs to create a new centre of activitiy and community, improve accessibility in the area and connectivity to the east side of the railway station. It is expected that your scheme will bring vitality and diversity into the area and contribute to its social well-being, generate jobs and be environmentally conscientious.
