50 PALL MALL, LONDONINTERIOR DESIGN / COMMERCIAL RECEPTION
50 Pall Mall was a compact redevelopment of the reception of a prominent office building on Pall Mall and our first commission from Legal and General. The existing reception area was uncomfortable in scale, its deep plan exacerbated lighting issues, and was dated and sparse. It was important to completely alter not only the physical impression of the space but also the historical impression of agents and potential tenants as the building was proving difficult to let.
As Project Architect, I designed a luminous and dynamic layout to attract new tenants to the building. The reception depth was reduced, gaining valuable ground floor office nett lettable, the waiting areas and access to the tenant stairwell re-configured and the toilets and kitchenette re-configured, gaining two extra WCs to the ground floor demise. New feature walls clad in book-matched black walnut veneer with integrated lighting and a seating area leads towards the lifts. A new glass reception lobby area reduces the buildings energy consumption whilst denoting a spatial hierarchy.
During the four months, I worked on the project alone producing all designs and detailed drawings. I headed up the design consultant team, was the primary client liaison, and assisted the fit-out contractor. I reviewed all sub-consultants packages and made frequent site visits.
Through the success of this project, for both the design and client development, Trehearne have since benefitted from additional schemes in the Legal and General portfolio.

7 BISHOPSGATE, LONDONLISTED BUILDING / FULL COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT / INTERIOR DESIGN
7 Bishopsgate, in the heart of the City of London, is a full office refurbishment with complete redevelopment of the reception interior for Henderson Global Investors. The existing office building was developed in the early 1990s as a facade retention and is Grade II listed. The current accommodation was decrepit and in need of renovation.
The existing split level reception behind the listed facade was problematic and gave a negative perception in the lettings market. We were tasked with redesigning the reception area to overcome these issues and re-introduce the fully refurbished building to market.
The building had a complete mechanical and electrical overhaul with new office floor plates over eight floors. We were able to obtain a difficult planning permission for rooflights to the listed facade and additional plant area to the roof, gaining the client valuable letting space within the building and vastly improving current letting space with daylight.
As Project Architect I served as the primary client liaison on behalf of Trehearne. I designed and detailed key internal elements, including a large marble reception area; attended all client and consultant meetings and lead the successful dialogue with the City of London planning department. I developed a good working dialogue with the other consultants - allowing us to redesign and re-evaluate several space gaining areas for the client. I lead focused design team meetings which addressed key issues - finding suitable but ingenious solutions to coordination problems that allowed us to mitigate several problems early on. I worked closely with the agents to propose a prominent reception with a valuable market longevity for the client.
I produced all drawings and documentation for Tender, attended the contractors’ interviews and liaised with the demolition and main contractors on site.

SL1, SLOUGH CITY CENTRENEW BUILD / COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT / MASTERPLANNING
The Heart of Slough is a regeneration programme for Slough city centre and the competition for the SL1 site will provide new office accommodation within the greater masterplan.
I worked on this successful competition bid with my partner-in-charge and another assistant. Through site analysis I developed the design concept and masterplanning of the proposal in the wider scheme. I worked on the overall strategic design of the proposal, producing site diagrams, and concept and presentation sketches. I produced furniture layouts and fire strategy diagrams for the individual floor plates. I also worked on the bid presentation directing image content, and collating and forming the overall document.

NEW ISLINGTON PHASE 3, MANCHESTERNEW BUILD / SOCIAL HOUSING
I was the project architect for an 18-unit social housing scheme as part of the Will Alsop masterplan for Manchester’s New Islington.
The scheme was a £2.5m Design and Build contract and my three-man team work closely with the Housing Association, Urban Splash and the appointed contractor. I worked on the project from Stage C to Stage J (Planning to site mobilisation), only leaving the project when financial difficulties of the contractor halted the programme. Practical Completion was April 2012 and the scheme has since won several awards.
The houses are semi-detached timber frame construction and sit central to the Alsop masterplan. Whilst the construction method was straight-forward, the site posed several constraints making the project an interesting one to work on.
I managed the mæ team, wrote internal programmes and managed the drawing process, alongside producing working drawings and daily project administration. I worked closely with all design consultants and client teams, and partook in site visits up to Manchester fortnightly for design team meetings.

MID-CORNWALL ECO TOWN (mæ submission)PRIVATE HOUSING / COMPETITION / ECO TYPOLOGIES
mæ was competitively selected onto the design panel for the proposed Eco Town in Cornwall with a collaboration project with Alison Brooks Architects.
mæ designed terrace housing for the scheme based on two concepts: - adaptability and flexibility in order to increase consumer choice. - PassivhausUK methodology to support sustainable living.
The super-insulated core of the house contains the dwelling rooms. Combined with an integrated heat recovery system the dwellings require no additional space heating. The central spine wall is constructed out of light weight block work with tiles adhered to the solar atrium side. This element has a great deal of thermal mass and acts as a whole-house storage heater, absorbing the suns radiant heat from the solar atrium during the day and releasing it during the evening.
I lead the collaborative process with the other architect; researched and designed the eco-strategy working with the M&E consultant; developed the working drawings and drafted the presentation drawings.

PATTERN BOOK OF TYPOLOGIESNEW BUILD / HOUSING TYPOLOGIES
A commission from Transform South Yorkshire, the Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder, to develop a pattern book of house types that demonstrates how the aspirations and design standards that TSY wish to set, can be achieved in a cost effective manner.
The project develops the thesis that regions such as South Yorkshire might have ‘standard house plans’ which reflect the circumstances of local house building and would be available to developers from all over the country who wanted to build in the region. Smaller regional developers can also use them to improve design quality and meet statutory conditions such as the Code for Sustainable Homes within the limitations of their resources and business model.
mæ worked in collaboration with two other architects to design the varying house types – each architect was assigned two particular house sizes and typologies to develop. Our typologies were for the larger units: a 4-bed/6-person semi-detached and a 3-bed/6-person terraced house. The house types were designed to HCA space standards, Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4, Lifetime Homes and Building for Life standards. By combining the several schemes designed in the collaboration the pattern book was formed as a reference guide.
I worked on the overall layouts of the housing types, produced 3D sketch up models for renders and liaised with the other architects in the collaboration. I also updated the mæ instructed TSY literature in line with development and training sessions given by Alex Ely, mæ partner.

COLVILLE, LONDONMASTERPLANNING / SOCIAL HOUSING / PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL
mæ collaborated with Karakusavic Carson Architects to develop a masterplan for the regeneration of the Colville Estate.
The existing 1950s estate of 438 dwellings was amongst six of Hackney Boroughs large estates requiring redevelopment for over a decade. It had a strong residents’ association and several previous attempts to rejuvenate the area had failed. This scheme of 2010 was agreed by all parties and has received planning to proceed, making it a landmark development both politically and socially.
The site will be redeveloped with 850 new homes comprising town houses and apartments and to establish Colville as a new, successful residential district.The scheme will include a public square, home zones, and communal play spaces. New commercial accommodation will be provided along the main street. Building heights and massing vary from terraced houses of three-storeys to apartment blocks of four, five and six storeys. A large tower of 18 storeys is located to the south west as an axial point adjacent to other taller buildings in the area.
I had worked on another previous bid in 2006 for WTa and was no stranger to the complications of the development. I worked alongside Alex Ely, mæ partner, for two months in developing the masterplan details with KCA, producing housing typologies, strategies and images.

THREE COLTS LANE, LONDONSOCIAL HOUSING / PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL
As part of a housing provider’s framework, mæ were asked to put forward a proposal for a large development on a site in Bethnal Green.
The form of the building responds to its placement within the urban context. In order to reduce its perceived scale, its mass is broken down into an ensemble of smaller parts. A pair of eight storey towers, housing 78 units, is linked by a central building with a smaller footprint. This allows the form to shift and respond to variations in the scale of the immediate context.
Varying apartment types were designed to accommodate two, three and four bedroom apartments for private and social rents. There was the option for commercial spaces on the ground floor. A shared landscape was included at ground floor level interlinked with existing public routes and privately owned, shared gardens were located on the roof.
I developed the design with Alex Ely and put together the bid proposal with an assistant to help produce the drawings. I worked on masterplanning details and produced the sketch up visuals.

Redbridge Borough Council issued a brief for a new retirement home and private residential units to replace the existing Hyleford Care Home and South Park Clinic on a large site in Ilford.mæ proposed a medium density scheme set within a wider landscape of private and shared gardens within a ‘home-zone’ area.
A mix of three and four storey apartment buildings were set along the main road to the north with the retirement home set privately away from the street. Family homes and apartments were provided in accordance with the brief.
Detailed provision had to be allowed for within the retirement home including a chapel and medical treatment areas. Kitchens and canteens were designed along with rest and rehabilitation areas. Ten 24-hour care apartments were provided in the care home accommodation allowing for both permanent and partial care of the elderly to take place.
I worked on the residential design layouts and site masterplanning, provided schedules of accommodation and overall design concept for the retirement home. I also produced CAD and hand drawings. I managed a team of three to produce the drawings and documentation for the bid submission, and produced the text for the bid presentation document.

The new build facade at number 9 required careful consideration in order that it sit harmoniously with the existing decorative building at number 8 but that it also was seen to exist in its own right as a tall perpendicular site and not an extension. This lead to the design of the double-height bay window and the taller brick dormer structure at roof level.The new entrance to both buildings is through the original carriageway arch, central in the ground floor plan, and leads to a new, fully accessible reception in number 9. Number 8 listed interiors were restored along with the brick facade.
I worked on 8 Stratton Street alongside the Project Director and Technical Associate producing both Planning drawings and detailed Tender and Construction packages.
I was responsible for the day to day running of the project, under the guidance of the Project Partner and served as the primary client liaison on behalf of Trehearne, attending all monthly client and design team meetings. I designed all the key internal areas including the reception and WCs. Weekly tasks included site meetings and sub-contractors meetings, answering RFIs and commenting on sub-contractor packages. I snagged areas once completed and produced and managed snagging schedules.

PHIPP STREET, LONDONMIXED USE / COMMERCIAL / PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL
This mixed-use brick building in the heart of Shoreditch provides three storeys of commercial space and eleven luxury apartments above.
The traditional material palette of brick and timber connects the development to existing warehouse structures, using fenestration to subtly denote the building uses - flush glazing to the commercial and deep reveals to the residential levels.
Each design and construction decision was underpinned by the desire to minimise the building’s impact on the environment. The hollow-core Cobiax Deck system in the concrete slab is a lightweight, fast and inexpensive method of reducing dead weight of buildings. The building has two accessible green roof terraces, a brown roof, solar energy technologies (eg. CPH system, underfloor heating, heat exchange systems) and is highly insulated.
I worked in a team of three as an assistant producing Tender and Construction drawings and working on detailed residential layouts including bathroom and kitchen details and selecting material finishes.

LEASIDE ROAD, LONDONAFFORDABLE HOUSING / PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL / LANDSCAPE
Waugh Thistleton Architects August 06 - January 08
Two brick-clad buildings provide thirty-two socially rented apartments for Metropolitan Housing Trust, with half of the units designed specifically for the Industrial Dwelling Society, a Housing Association providing low cost housing for the local orthodox Jewish community.The buildings sit either side of a central garden placed perpendicular to the river opening links between the river and the town that have not existed for over 150 years.
We worked closely with the orthodox Jewish community in order to facilitate their requirements. The communal gardens running between the buildings down to the river allow this close community to gather outside their homes in the shared space, whilst the larger family units with suitable internal planning are designed specifically within the orthodox guidelines. The four storey building has a brown roof whilst the five storey building has a green roof.
I worked on the project from Planning onwards, producing Planning sign-off and presentation drawings and Building Regulations drawings. I worked on fire strategy drawings and 1:20 and 1:5 construction section details. I developed apartment layouts and produced 1:20 bathroom and kitchen layouts. I also designed the central landscape which incorporated changing site levels, bike and refuse stores, M&E requirements, and shared & private spaces.I liaised with the Planning department on waste and recycling strategies and designed the street elevation in line with comments and guidance from the council.

STADHAUS, LONDONSOCIAL HOUSING / PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL
Constructed from cross-laminated timber panels from the first floor upwards, the nine-storey building was the first of this height to construct load bearing walls and floor slabs, as well as stair and lift cores, entirely from timber.
Commissioned by Metropolitan Housing Trust and developed by house-builder Telford Homes, the tower houses twenty-nine apartments of mixed tenure, with a neighbourhood office on the ground floor.
My focus in the Stadhaus team was to help with construction details, working on typical facade, roof and internal fit out details at 1:10.

Stoke Newington, London, UK Feasibility June 2007860m2 / 9,257ft2 site Grainger PLCArchitectural Assistant, sole responsibility
BARN STREET, LONDONINFILL PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL / LANDSCAPE / ECO
The development site is enclosed by 1950s church housing estate, a primary school and another small housing development. The client was reviewing their property portfolio to assess what additional units could be gained. This project was a site within that portfolio which we assessed to have development potential.
The proposal needed to be sensitive to the proximity of such established neighbours. By curving and grading the façade, a new central landscape space was created, retaining existing pedestrian routes, maintaining privacy to the school and to the existing housing, and forming a subservient massing.
The scheme has three small buildings: a stand-alone four-bed house to the west and two apartment blocks bound by a central staircore to form the main Cluster Building. On the ground floor the Cluster Building houses three three-bed family units and a one-bed fully accessible unit, each with private rear gardens. On the upper levels are four two-bed flats each with a private terrace. All living rooms are designed as height-and-half spaces - allowing for split-level upper floors and making use of the staircore half-landings in a ‘Raum-plan’ fashion. This plan type ensured efficient use of the restricted site area due to minimised circulation.
The honeycomb structure of the ‘Raum-plan’ is made possible through the use of engineered solid timber panels making all walls and slabs structurally load bearing. Key sustainable features included placing fenestration to maximise solar gains; building envelope materiality; building heating & ventilation; and green roofs and landscaping to increase site biodiversity.
I was the lead designer for all feasibility studies with the Grainger Trust, liaising directly with the client and reviewing those properties in the portfolio for regeneration or redevelopment.Working solely on this project, I designed the housing and landscape, produced all the drawings and documentation, attended all the client meetings and submitted the Planning for pre-application advice.

PONTEFRACT GENERAL INFIRMARYHOSPITAL / PFI PROJECT / ENERGY CENTRE / LANDSCAPE
This PFI project in Yorkshire is a model for a new community hospital providing a range of non-acute services for its local population. A two storey courtyard building provides outpatient accommodation, while the surrounding L-shape houses more heavily serviced and increasingly private zones. A three storey atrium provides all public functions.
The sites topography allows entrances to the building on three levels, separating public, vehicular, servicing and clinical flows. The new hospital’s setting extends the existing landscape, integrating patient outdoor facilities and pedestrian routes, as well as physically and visually connecting it to the town centre.
I worked on several levels of the project from whole building strategy drawings (including fire, drainage and disability assessments) to 1:20 envelope storey-rod section details. A large proportion of my time was developing the design of facilities management out-buildings, the Energy Centre - liaising closely with the mechanical engineers; and the landscape layouts. This included producing vehicle and pedestrian access proposals, problem solving key site issues, producing landscape drawings for planning, and overall design concept strategy diagrams.

20 GRAFTON STREET, LONDONNEW BUILD COMMERCIAL
20 Grafton Street was an £8 million new-build office block in the Mayfair Conservation Area, London. Replacing a five storey building, the new eight storey development, with two underground, was a steel structure clad in Portland stone-faced precast panels.
Although in total the site foot print was less than 3000m², it was a complex corner site adjoined by two Grade II listed buildings with six party walls; a perimeter areaway and subterranean electricity substation; a hidden sub-basement and the Victoria Underground line running under the site.
I worked on Grafton Street from Planning Stage D to stage K (Planning to mobilisation/start of construction) producing the drawings for the discharge of Planning Conditions, Building Regulation and Tender drawings. I worked on Construction drawings and interior fit out drawings. Working closely with the appointed contractor, I attended fortnightly design team meetings and regularly met with the client to discuss marketing and interior finishes. I assisted the project manager in the production of the outline specification documents and technical packs.
