Dwel l ing Space , BudapestCreated from two clients through a process of creating an Eating

Space, Sleeping Space and Bathing Space. A conflict arises in the

heart of Budapest, between a seemingly eccentric Teppanyaki Chef

and an Introverted blind man who navigates via echolocation.

Eat ing SpaceThe shape of the dwelling started based upon a structural study of a pine cone. The study

came about as the female cone shown above is independent, requiring no other organism to

reproduce, they rely solely on the wind. Which reflects how the blind client is independent in

the way he uses his echolocation. It also fits the idea of eccentricity of the Teppanyaki Chef.

Sleep ing SpaceDaniel Kish, one of my clients who is blind, says his dreams become more vivid when he

can switch off completely, so soundproofing the room distorts his echolocation allowing

him into a deeper sleep on his journey. The other sleeping space for Tsukada (Teppanyaki

Chef) is a minimalist space for him to merely rest his head and be awoken by morning sun.

L ive / Work Space , Granada On the site previously was a run down condemned library so I chose

to rebuild the library into my live / work project and created a rare

music manuscript library with accommodation for visiting students

who wish to access the manuscripts as part of their study.

Agoraphob ia Centre , London Based in 2050 with a predicted rise in age with the growing knowledge of genetic engineering

proving a life expectancy of 150 with life extending operations and drugs, all made expensive,

an uprising occurs causing a rise in the number of sufferers of agoraphobia, who are scared of

the main city due to the crime relating to obtaining the life extending drugs. This agoraphobia

centre takes patients through a journey in elevating them from this tension regarding the

outside world through a routine in which the living modules move around the building from a

tight enclosed space to one with more freedom and views alongside their rehabilitation program.

Stas i Arch ive , Berl in The East German Secret Police ( The Stasi ) existed for 39 years, in this time they collated

enormous archives of files on the German population. In discovery of the Stasi’s operation the

documents were torn, it is these torn documents that are essentially the worlds largest jigsaw

puzzle, and they need to be pieced together to unveil the latent secrets covered up by the

Stasi. This building will digitally process all the files in the archives and store Berlin’s quota

of material. It is via dissecting the process of these documents have undergone that a form

and design technique developed.

I assessed the site and using site analysis

studies started to figure the key identifiers on

Technology Module From a given precedent we were to conduct an in depth, technological, analytical

case study. This case study was on the Maggie’s Centre, Gartnavel, Scotland.

Location was specifically selected for its semi-wooded, natural landscape, the

design of the centre takes full advantage of the natural surroundings and

potential of the site. Already a green area within the hospital grounds, the

landscape design further enhances the current landscape, benefiting not just

those visiting the Maggie’s Centre but all who come to the hospital grounds

through additional planting and greening of the site.

Summer Shading, to keep the privacy inside the house, the trees on site block

most direct sunlight into the building.

Winter shading, the trees drop their leaves allowing what little light reaches the

site to penetrate into the building.

Wind rays over site, the foliage stops the majority of wind from making the

building feel uncomfortable.

Wind pressure shown through site South westerly prevailing wind throughout the site, of which the foliage

retains a calm but gentle breeze in the centre of the trees.

Pract ice Portfol io Over 12 months in practice at BTP Architects I have cemented my place in their

workforce, and been allowed to expand my knowledge exponentially of the

architecture and construction industry over many projects of varying sizes.

The Parkway, ManchesterThe back end of the 12 months I spent 3 months solely working on a competition submission for

Rowlinson Construction Limited with guidance from my Director on a project with a of budget £26m.

If BTP Architects were to win with Rowlinsons construction it would be the largest project that

BTP would have worked on in the past 35 years.

House / Flat Types Example house and f lat types prov ided for the

compet it ion submiss ion to Manchester Place .

Pract ice Portfol io - Other Pro jects During my placement, I have mainly worked on social housing schemes, but the types vary

from environmental works, to new build housing, to Tower Refurbishment. My Tasks vary

from visualisations, drawings, site management, site queries and detailed drawings.

New Bu i ld Soc ia l Hous ing - Feas ib i l i ty Townsend Lane, Liverpool for Liverpool Mutual Homes, we were asked to produce a

feasibility on a tight site, with several constraints, so I created the scheme shown, and

liaised with planners to make sure it was a tight knit scheme, I then took it to resident

consultation which I led.

Refurb ishment Soc ia l Hous ing - Tender Stretford House, Trafford with Trafford Housing Trust is an external insulation scheme, that

BTP were appointed to do with British Gas funding. I took the scheme from feasibility through

consultation into planning, through planning committee and finally got granted planning permission,

we have just recently selected the contractor ready to go to site towards the end of 2015. Other

tasks include all the drawings and subsequent amendments in Revit, manufacturer liaison, client

liaison, formal dinners with client.

Refurb ishment Soc ia l Hous ing - Plann ing Circle Court, Trafford with Trafford Housing Trust, like Stretford House is an external insulation

scheme, that BTP were appointed to do with British Gas funding. I took the scheme from feasibility

through consultation into planning, through planning committee and got granted planning permission,

we aim to get to site towards the start of 2017. Other tasks include all the drawings and subsequent

amendments in Revit, manufacturer liaison, client liaison, formal dinners with client.

Env ironmental - Complete Stephen Street, Urmston with Trafford Housing Trust was the first project i took from feasibility

to completion, from the initial site visit it took 5 months to get everything drawn, approved and

constructed. I did all the drawing, on site management queries and fees.

Before

After

New Bu i ld Soc ia l Hous ing - Bu i ld ing Regulat ionsHall Lane, Wythenshawe, Manchester was an project about to go to site, but a building regulations package needed to

be submitted so I was tasked with the detailed drawings from the specification
