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.

Following research into the tearing process,
I assessed the site and using site analysis
studies started to figure the key identifiers on
the site.

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.
Site is untouched Ground Excavation Basement waterproofing In situ caltite admixture concrete basement poured

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
