Architecture

The threshold between park and building: a grass gradient ramp rises from Castle Park towards the Up-Skilling Centre, St Mary Le Port's tower holding the skyline to the right.

Up-Skill Bristol

The Up-Skilling Centre as an urban connector: the grass gradient ramp rises from Castle Park towards the building, St Mary Le Port's tower holding the skyline to the right.

The parliament chamber raised on columns: its rectilinear bulk sits above a sheltered undercroft where people gather and pass through, landscaping softening the ground to the left.

Veridra

A temporary House of Commons located next to Bristol Temple Meads: three curved sails, a chamber raised on columns, and a demountable, net-zero structure built to leave no trace by 2050.

Ground floor plan: the pool house extension, the redesigned kitchen and family room, and the connecting hallway linking the main house to the pool house, pump room and sauna.

Pelican House

A country house scheme adding a pool house extension and converting a barn into staff accommodation, taken from first drawings through to planning permission for both.

Rising from the ruins: an exterior collage of the proposed house, its form taking its cue from the history already on the site.

Artisan

A house for a watchmaker, set within a fictional town of artisans on a site of historical significance in North East England. This was where I learned to trust in ideas not just software.

Raptor

A bike shop and clubhouse for Putney's Raptor Cycling Club: plans, elevations and a 3D render that enabled the client to make informed decisions swapping out of technicolour and into something calmer.

Looking down from the ground-level staircase reveal into the gasworks' lower level: the two-storey function space anchors the centre, with the curved apartment building and bar rising behind it.

Bath Gasworks

Rejuvenation of Bath's condemned gasworks: a circular scheme, sunk into the ground and clad in Bath stone, built to give the city's young professionals somewhere central, sustainable and genuinely theirs.

Section through the house: pool, staircase, roof and window openings, tracing ceiling heights and the reach of daylight down through the building.

Little Boltons

A presentation for a private client on Little Boltons, Kensington: resolving how a double - height basement could hold a 20m pool, sauna, steam room and bar alongside the space a heat pump plant room demands.

Ground floor, looking up: people seated beneath the building's three layers, a central tree rising through the plan to meet the skylight on the top floor.

Swindon Re-Gen

Regenerating Swindon's Commercial Road: my building, a library for blind, autistic and deaf visitors, organised floor by floor around each group's needs.
