PROJECT BRIEF
This client approached us with a housing design project in Barry, near Cardiff. After the Planning Authority rejected the initial proposal for single detached and semi-detached houses, this project aimed to comply with the required regulations set by the Planning Authority.
SITE
The project site is strategically located at the intersection of Shakespeare Road and Milton Road in Barry; bordered by public open spaces and recreational grounds, which provide a pleasant environment for future residents. Additionally, the presence of existing residential dwellings in the vicinity establishes a contextual framework for the proposed development.
ROLE
As an Assistant Designer, I transformed design plans into detailed visualizations using AutoCAD, Photoshop, and Lumion, guided by the Principal Architect. My photorealistic renderings played a crucial role in client presentations and pre-planning reports. This led to successful approvals from clients and authorities, showcasing the effectiveness of our design solutions.

RIBA Stage 4 (Technical Design)
In this stage, I prepared survey drawings from site measurements, redrawing and updating the plans to reflect changes in the project scope. This included producing precise technical drawings in AutoCAD, ensuring that all modifications were accurately represented and ready for further development and submission.

An influential role was played by the layout of floor tiles and the design of the reflective ceiling in the interior.
