I am an architect by profession, but design and draw in my spare time. This site is an online portfolio of general pieces of work.

‘Using similar techniques found in architectural drawings, these pieces of work unite the strait line and order of work, with the organic freedom of play.’

‘My work is an experiment in uniting a portion of my drawing technique that is ordered, precise and strait with the other that is creative, inquisitive and organic’.

A few ‘Arty’ quotes I used in my application for an exhibition competition at MK Gallery. Hope I get selected to show my work

Various Images I developed with colleagues for an RIBA competition called ‘Re-Imagining’ Ageing. The concept is for predominantly south facing apartments with community services to the rear for a gym, studios, health services etc. The unconventional shape was thought to maximise solar gains with site constraints, to have an excellent form factor and continuous mobility scooter access to all areas.

In this job, EDC have been appointed to convert an existing 70’s bungalow into a Passive House on a very strict budget below 100k. This is my interpretation of the client requests and site restrictions.

I was asked to spend a day designing a split level PassivHaus for a potential new client to try and attract them to EDC. The modelling involved site analysis and a 3D perspectives of how we interpreted an hour long meeting. We believe we are one of many architects the client has been courting. Fingers crossed as this could potentially be an exciting PassivHaus.

This is a PassivHaus extension to an existing 1960’s detached house in the middle of the countryside. It is currently in for pre-planning, however I’m confident this will eventually get planning permission. Alot of the PassivHaus training I have undertaken in the last 6 months has influenced the design, especially it’s orientation and form.

Bit of a small job, but fun non the less. I was asked to design 3 options for a new porch. I have submitted one of these designs to planning.

This is an Architectrural Bicycle tour of Milton Keynes I have organized, designed and marketed for Hinton Cook Architects as part of the Love Architecture Festival 2012. 

The 2-3 hour ride will tour the architectural history of housing developments since Milton Keynes’ early development back in the 70’s. The coloured pins on the map represent different areas, and correspond with a brief text of each on the back.

The amphitheatre I designed finally finished. The grass needs to grow some more.
