Byker Estate: In-between floor plans

STAGE 06/ FINAL THESIS

The thesis explores the pocket spaces in Byker Estate to develop a network of connections between the area’s residents and its surroundings. The scheme follows an in-depth feasibility studies of the key horizontal and vertical in between spaces to provide an extensive interactive structure for the community.

The project aims to intervene at the spatial and physical environment in the estate which can afford better opportunities for the community. The nature of the project explores the use of the transitional spaces across the urban fabric to elevate and activate the streetscape.

STAGE 05/ FINAL PROJECT

The Children’s Centre has three primary education programmes, gardening (indoor/outdoor gardening), cooking (cookery school)and play school (for toddlers to teens). The three main programs then all contribute to a community multi-use hall which could serve as a meet-up for parents or other related exhibitions. The building functions in a amalgamation of different kinds of program which is carefully organised.

The key element in this design proposal looks at open spaces (post-pandemic architecture) in a safe learning environment. The open airy space and promoting playful learning are two key concept when researching on the precendents. The built environment needs to offer a chance to play safely whilst bearing in mind the different scales of adults and childrem. Enabling the children to interact and motivate independance is crucial in the design process while promoting safe healthy environment.

Riverside Sunderland University Design Challenge

CTI Timber

RSU DESIGN CHALLENGE

The four-weeks long design challenge is launced by Sunderland City Council, and TRADA to redefine the Riverside of Sunderland City. The brief of the competition looks at transforming the Vaux site to a carbon neutral urban quarter an extraordinary place to live, work and play. I worked alongside four other students from various educational backgrounds to design an indicative masterplan which informs 100 mixed used homes onto the Riverside Sunderland site.

I worked on the site model for Waipori Lodge, Whitby that sits on a hill site. I also drafted the technical detail drawings, elevational, floor plans, detailed section and built the whole landscape of different levels of the site from SketchUp.

The other project that I worked on was Willow Wood home design. I started with the site appraisal to the final renders of the house in Whitby. This includes the site studies, terrain model, floor plans and elevational drawings of the home.

Stage 03 models and Linked Research exhibition

STAGE 03/ HANRAILS

The 1:1 models were created on our Thinking through Making week in Stage 03 In which, I modelled a 1:1 handrail from concrete and beechwood. The handrails are informed by the design of I.M Pei in the German Historical Museum in Berlin. The use of pale and smooth stone in the building projects meticulous finishes. I wanted a contemporary handrails that are hidden in the walls. Providing a sensory experiences to raw materials.

STAGE 06/ LINKED RESEARCH

The initial line of inquiry for the Child’s and the Archive linked research project looks at the framework of children’s furniture. During the first semester, research and studies were made on the interactive play of children’s furniture. The Black British Exhibition forms a fragment of the semester’s Linked Research project. This exhibition works alongside Seven Stories, the National Centre for Children’s Books and Philip Robinson’s Library, Newcastle University..
