Front Garden 1

 Second year

Fith year

My first ever built project. Thank you Susan for sending me these photos, I'm so happy to see that it has grown so well. The garden must be around 5 years old, the Choisya and Polygonatum are in bloom! The brief for this project was an all year round garden full of wonderful scents; A welcome home from a hard day at work. The form is asymmetrical deriving its contours from that of the house. The plans are all hand drawn and as I don't have a scanner big enough, I photographed and touched them up in Illustrator so as to post them on this blog.

Centre Sphere

Centre Sphere is an exhibition and educational gallery space designed for a site within London Zoo. The form takes inspiration from animal structures, in particular the Diving Bell Spider that lives most of its life within a bubble. The building is made from glass panes connected by flexible spider joint. Wind and impact against the building will cause it to ripple. The model was made mostly with acrylic. Laser cutting and vacuum forming were some of the techniques used to construct the model. 

Tsukuru Market Flier No*4

 

Last year I worked at M28E/Tsukuru, were I was able to get a diverse range of experiences. The company, which originally was a garden design company is ever expanding into new fields. During my time there we designed many events, festivals, exhibitions, and even a stage set. This particular flier I designed for a Market held twice a year in the Tsukuru building. The event held more then 40 stalls, including music, food, therapies and hand crafted goods. The fliers were handed out at local shops and stations. Although my time at M28E was short, the experience I had was truly enlightening. Not to mention the kind and friendly people I am so lucky to have met.

Model Making at Ab Rogers (Emperor Moth)

During University I had the pleasure of working at Ab Rogers (http://www.abrogers.com/). These photos are of a design for a Moscow boutique Emperor Moth, the interior is a crazy shatter of reflecting mirrors that makes you feel as if you are floating within a crystal. The pink outlines are representative of both Emperor Moth's and Ab's flamboyant style.

On this project I helped make the construction model. It was the most exciting and difficult model I have ever experienced. The model was mainly for the constructors, and worked as a blue print or reference so that constructing the abstract space went smoothly.

The model was first drawn in a free 3D program, then it was printed to scale, splayed out on a piece of paper with a code on each component, meanwhile each component was laser cut, sprayed and joined using the printout as a reference. The model sits in a supporting frame which easily shows the numbers of each panel on the back and assisted the constructors.   

Morphi's

Morphi's was my final project. The Morphi building reacts to light, pressure, wind and movement. The basement space has been designed into a bar, the Ground floor reception and shop and the 1st floor costume hire. The above floors are office and workshop. Accompanying this A0 board were several plan and detail drawings done in CAD and an acrylic model of the bar, shop and changing rooms. The visuals were made with 3DSmax, Photoshop and Illustrator. This project was lucky enough to be displayed at the New Designers Show in the Business Design Centre located in Angel and Islington. The site and business used in the design can be found here: http://www.madworldfancydress.com/

Pharmacy Interior



Choice Pharmacy was a 2nd year university project. For inspiration I looked at the colourful fruit and vegetable shops abundant in the area. The aim was to help people find the item they were looking for, so burrowing display methods from grocery stores, stations and hospitals this design was born. The golden section was applied to the overall floor plan.

The design includes a private space for consultation, weighing and piercing, lockable medicine cabinets for safety, a large counter to accommodate many tills, bright lighting from a light box on the ceiling, colour coded sections, magazine and leaflet rack and hygienic easy clean materials. The logo includes the most common language in the area and represents also the diversity of the staff working in the pharmacy. 

Moon

This is a book cover competition from last winter. It didn't win top prize but it reached third tier, which I am proud of as 10 thousand applicants entered across Japan. The theme is 'moon'.
