Modular

Residential Housing Site: St. Radigunds, Canterbury, Kent The brief called for the design of 20 maisonette and studio flat residential units that explored modular design principals. This included the research and application of new technologies and construction methods suitable for achieving sustainable design.

Due to the sites location bordering the edge of the River Stour and within flood zone 3, a sensitive approach to flood risk was paramount to the design development.

Flood Protection Strategy My solution to this issue involved raising the building units and integrating a raised access entry. Not only does this provide flood relief to my design, but it also protects the neighbouring buildings. In addition, this elevated access route also introduces improved transition thresholds between public and private space.

Spatial Flexibility Both the studio flat and maisonette dwellings were designed to best suit the typical users regarding spatial flexibility.

Short-term aspects of flexibility were employed in the studio flat to allow quick alterations of the space to the suit the dynamics of the typical younger person.

On the other hand, the maisonette focuses on the longer-term aspects of flexibility to cater for family evolution over a longer timescale.

Section B-B Summer

Building Envelope Strategy The mono-pitch roof design was integrated as a passive design measure to respond to the orientation of the housing block.

In particular, it helps provide additional solar gain and light into the main living spaces of the maisonette units during the winter months. Ventilation and heating is assisted by a MVHR system.

Modular Construction Each modular unit is assembled on-site from a kit of pre-fabricated Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels. The repetition of specific panels helps maximise production efficiency and minimises off-cut waste.

School of Music and Fine Arts Site: Cathedral Close, Rochester, Kent The brief for this project called for the introduction of a new postgraduate campus for the University of Kent’s School of Music and Fine Arts within the historic site of Rochester’s Cathedral close.

Planning Development of the internal planning looked to engage with key features of the site. This includes capitalising on key views, creating exciting activity nodes, and playing with the existing topography of the site.

In particular, the planning of the school focused on providing a strong collaborative environment between the two courses.

Gallery Procession The spatial layout of the gallery aims to embody the key characteristics of Rochester’s urban planning by providing key frames and moments along the processional route. This includes the contraction and expansion of gallery spaces to invite a sense of discovery, along with celebrating key viewpoints unique to the character of Rochester.

School of Music and Fine Arts Workshop and Studio Spaces The formation of the School of Music and Fine Arts came as a response to the growing interdisciplinary nature of the postgraduate courses offered by UoK. The spatial arrangement of the building encourages collaboration and interaction, allowing crossover projects to become a much more seamless process. At the heart of the building , tying all the components together, lies the courtyard. This can be imaginatively used to offer performance and arts spill-out space as well as just a casual social area.
