My selected project from work experience with John thompson and Partners, which I have been working on since July 2014 and which is due for planning application submission in March 2015, seeks to provide 205 high quality homes of mixed size and tenure in place of the existing Hampshire Police Headquarters in Winchester. the project team consists of four people, including me.

sequential viewsbuildings framing views and terminating vistas naturally
lead visitors through the site and aid in navigation
the design principles were established after a detailed analysis of local grain, street patterns and architectural detail: the Dna of Winchester that fed into the emerging design. Diagrams: team effort
street patternCoherent street pattern focuses around the linkage of the access from romsey road and West end terrace, the culmination in a cen-
tral space and the extension of the overriding urban grain
Landmarks & corner buildingsbuildings framing views, marking vistas and addressing prominent
corners, either by a change in mass, building line or materiality

My final degree project explores the theme of urban infill in a challenging his-toric context of rochester. the aim of my design for a postgraduate college for the school of Music and Fine arts at the University of Kent on was to create a series of vibrant outdoor and indoor spaces that would the reflect the relation-ship between the user and the space.

the concept behind the design aimed to connect different areas within a long and 'disjointed' site by creating a series of interconnected buildings and an atmo-sphere of a small campus or a miniature town. the sequence of thresholds and spaces which differ in lighting, scale and atmosphere take the visitor or student through a journey exploring the art created by the students. as the route progresses into the music buildings, the spaces gradually acquire a more private quality to eventually become restricted as it reaches the entrance to the residential part. Due to the extents of the project, it was made to be presented in two parts: ‘public builing’ referring to north eastern part of the site and ‘college building’ to the south-Western. this portfolio will focus on the latter.

modularstage 3: student housing
the project explores modularity, urban design and housing with a particular emphasis on sustainable environmental design and a humanistic approach. First developed in a team as a building within a masterplan, it was further developed in detail by me.

The first, team phase of the project resulted in a masterplan which focused on creating a socially active internal courtyard for each of the buildings and a semi-enclosed public square opening to the view of the river. the priority was to preserve views of the city landmarks - the Canterbury Ca-thedral and marlowe theatre, and creation of positive outdoor spaces with varying degree of privacy.
In the second, individual phase of the project, I developed a design of one of the buildings in the masterplan, the student housing. the project brief required creation of 12 6-bedroom student flats. the design was driven by the questions: how to provide appropriate amount of daylight, how to protect privacy, and ultimately, how to humanize architecture? Is it right to assume a universal de-sign solution can fulfil the needs of all the people if one of their needs is to possess an individual identity?
my modular project was an attempt to address these considerations in a humanistic scheme which, through its complex form, creates a diverse living environment as a series of small spaces identifiable by differences in their individual con-figuration. In order to break the monotony and diversify the form of the building I strived to avoid the repetitive impersonality in arrangement of the modules and whole blocks.

The underfloor heating panels are controlled by a normal room-thermostat, replacing radiators
to provide gentle, radiated heat
Ground source heat pump and solar thermal evacuation tubes
Warm, stale air from kitchen and bathrooms is extracted, passing across a heat exchanger, to pre-warm fresh air from outside, which is then
circulated to living areas
the thermal store - a large tank of water - is the centre of a block’s renewable energy sources heating system. Heat energy from all the heat imputs is directed into and held in the store, then used to supply all the heating and hot water for the kitchen and individual bedrooms.

A student’s room has to offer significantly more functional flexibility than a flat; that activities like work,
sleep or leisure have to be performed in the confines of a single room rather than in the usual as-
sembly of rooms. therefore a living unit had to became a kind of universal space: it was only rational
to make it spacious enough to grant the students the freedom to change the furniture arrangement;
to allow for different scenarios and design the furniture itself to move, pivot and slide in order to let
the changes to be spontaneous. the users can also manipulate the amount of fresh air and light
depending on their personal needs. In this way the façades of the buildings become animated and
adapted to its occupants.

this project proposes to modernize and extend the templeman library at the University of Kent campus. the scheme focuses on creation of a range of spaces for the british Cartoon archives along with a wide range of learning and teaching spaces for the general users.

Despite a busy schedule, for several years I’ve done my best to keep an illustrated journal of my everyday experiences, work on my hand-draw-ing and painting skills and keep my creative side active.
