This project has allowed me the opportunity to improve my detailing skills and knowledge by working on key construction details such as the entrance canopy structure and cladding, as well as the unique design items within the scheme including the central food bar. The scheme has also assisted in improving my competence on Revit; I independently produced the central model which has been used since tender stage as the main source of all construction drawings.

B AT H L A N E Proposal for a new residential development on the edge of the River Soar within Leicester City Centre, to include approximately 35, three storey, townhouse style and detached family homes, as well as an apartment block including 98, one and two bed apartments and studios, and two, 16 unit blocks of one bed apartments. I was involved in the project from just after its conception, and was heavily involved with the development and refinement of the scheme until it was submitted for planning in May 2014. As well as assisting in the design of the scheme, including the masterplan and individual houses and apartments, I was also responsible for coordinating the planning application. This involved liaising with the client and various consultants daily to ensure all work was completed and submitted on time, as well as producing all relevant information to be submitted for planning by Lewis and Hickey, including all planning drawings and the Design and Access statement. The scheme was granted planning permission during October 2014.
UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTER The redevelopment of an existing student campus for the University of Gloucester in Cheltenham. The scheme introduced six new blocks which included over 600 en suite rooms, as well as refurbishment works to the existing Media Centre, and substantial landscaping work. I was involved in this project from Stage 2 and played a key part in its detailed development through pre-plannning to the submission of the planning application during December 2014. I assisted with the refinement of the design of the Townhouse and Cluster blocks, and prepared a substantial portion of the planning application documents including drawings, 3D model for visualisations, and the Design and Access Statement.
UNIVERSITY OF HULL A competitive tender bid for a new student rediential village on the edge of the existing campus, comprising of four new blocks of accommodation totalling 600 ensuite bedrooms arranged within cluster flats and studio apartments. A social ‘pavilion’ was designed as a landmark building at the south-west corner of the site, connecting the village to the main campus. The comprehensive tender package was designed and produced within a very short timeframe by a small team within the office, so efficiency and coordination were key. My role within the project was to produce the three tender bid documents, as well as coordinating the wider design team of various consultants and gathering the relevant information. I compled all presentation material created by Lewis and Hickey for the presentation boards and booklets, and designed and produced the landscape plan for the scheme. Lewis and Hickey were placed 2nd, and scored less than 1% lower than the winning bid.
DUNDEE
P rogressive P atterns / / E x tending T erritories Thesis A design lead thesis based within the ground of Murray Royal Mental Heath Hospital in Perth, exploring the condition of transition, and temporary occupation of space, the thesis aimed to help answer the schizophrenic’s question “where am I?’. The thesis aimed to soften the difficult transition between institutionalised living and healthy self-sufficiency during life after the institution; two opposing situations - one enforcing rules and containment, the other offering freedom and exploration. By exploring the conditions experienced within such an institution, and those of life outside its walls, the thesis aimed to provide a proposal to bridge the gap and soften the transition between the two, aiming to reduce the trauma experienced in the often harsh period.

edinburgh C artographic I nstitute Integrated Design Project A large civic building within the centre of Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh Cartographic Institute is designed to have a constant connection between the public and private areas; the two sides of the institute merging throughout via visual and physical links. As well as providing a route through the building connecting St Giles Street and Market Street, the institute holds public and private journeys within its walls. The private journey hosts the inner workings of the institute, from the delivery of new materials, through processing and conservation, to storage within the archive. The parallel public journey encounters the exhibition and viewing of the institute’s wealth of resources, as well as educational facilities, designed to reinvigorate cartography as an art form and profession. The two journeys weave in and out of the primary central space and the two structural cores, organised by a hierarchy of spaces, dependant on their influence and importance on the journeys.
E x ploring P erspective Design Research Unit Perspective, along with beauty, is within the eye of the beholder. Perspective - both physical and metaphorical - and beauty, are dependent on the position of the inhabitant within a landscape: a position in time, space, or both. During this exploration, ideas of perspective are examined through studying the life cycle of a quarry and the various perspectives this provides within one space. By devising a process to create a quarried landscape, the notions of positive and negative space are explored and tested to see whether a visitor’s perspective changes when spaces are displayed conventionally in the perspective to which he or she are accustomed, as well as in unfamiliar circumstances that may challenge the presupposition of each space. The notion of void space is challenged and manipulated by removing areas of material in a quarried landscape and refabricating the remnants to create an alternative landscape; the reassembled void. These conventional and alternative landscapes present an alternative perspective of the space and challenge preconceptions of known landscapes.
SYDNEY
union street An addition to the back of a typical Sydney terrace, the focus of this house was around the luscious rear garden and the range of established trees. The client’s only requirement was to have a ‘bath in the trees’, and as such, this became the main driver of the design. The bathroom, along with an additional bedroom/study, utility room and larger kitchen/dining room, were added to the rear of the existing property, taking full opportunity from the ample garden space, while still allowing side access.
st james road Located within a Heritage Conservation Area within Bondi Junction, this project provided a small, end terrace, family home with an additional storey. By maximising and re-planning the existing space, as well as adding a first floor, the project provided the family with two additional bedrooms, and a larger family bathroom, as well as a larger, open plan kitchen/dining space. Extensive research was key for this project, and a Heritage Impact Statement was composed and submitted as part of the planning application to ensure the project was successful.
S cale v status Run by Australian publication, Green Mag, this competition was designed to highlight the lack of sustainable suburban family homes within Australia. Providing accommodation for a family of four, the design also included a number of sustainable initiatives including a natural swimming pool, thermally massive and straw bale walls, a grey water recycling reed bed and large rainwater collection tanks. The competition submission included full plans, sections and elevations, as well as the model pictured, and was exhibited in Melbourne.
LEEDS
C I N E M A I N T H E PA R K Third Year Design Project Designed throughout the second semester of third year, the Cinema in The Park, set within the ruins of an abandoned church, provides a much needed cultural centre for the large town of Halifax in West Yorkshire. Housing a variety of cinemas, ranging from 30 to 250 seats, a film school connected to the local schools, as well as conference and meeting rooms, the cinema provides an educational and social centre for a range of individuals and groups around Halifax. The cinema also includes means to generate income for itself, reducing the need for sponsors and investors, with a restaurant and bar, as well as a book and film shop. The main screen, the Cinema in The Park, is located on top of a green roof, which sits above the large underground cinema, and features a retractable roof which provides shelter from the occasional harsh Yorkshire weather.
alice longstaff photography museum Third Year Design Project Encompassing the whole first semester of third year, the Alice Longstaff Photography Museum was based in the heart of the small West Yorkshire market town where Alice lived and photographed throughout her life: Hebden Bridge. The photography museum provided a desperately needed storage and exhibition facility for Alice’s 10,000 photos, glass plates and negatives, as since her death in 1992, her journalistic photographs of Hebden Bridge have been neglected and are deteriorating in condition. The museum also provided exhibition space for visiting photographers, as well as a research facility in which the people of Hebden Bridge could find their relatives within the photos, and an artist in residence studio.
