The Honest Lawyer - Private Dwelling

Whilst working for Concept Design, the first project I had was to design a small house for a 1 or 2 students. Above is one of my original designs and below is a link to what the final house design will look like.

30 Pond Road - Private residence

Whilst looking for a permanent placement position - the all important 'PPP', (not to be confused with a regular 'PP' which I may need after I do this post) I answered an online advert for a trainee architect to help design a house in Trinidad. Such opportunities do not come around everyday and so I jumped at the chance. The client was hoping to move out there and wished to have a typical Caribbean styled home. After researching typical house types in the area, the client also provided a detailed list and sketches of what they wanted, making my task much easier. After just a week a design was set upon for which I also provided 3D's. It was a great experience and it should be going to site this time next year.

What not to do at picture time

Whilst graduating on monday I captured this awkward moment:

AT WORK - University of Brighton 2010 Undergraduate Architecture catalogue

Here is the design catalogue of my year and our work, titled 'At Work'. We were each given an A5 size area to fit in a small paragraph and a few key images of one of our projects in 3rd year. I chose the Social Condenser project. Considering we had only around a week to organize all the images, text, layout and printing, the end result was amazing and well worth the effort.

My models on show

As part of our graduate show I managed to get both my small process models and my 1:100 design proposal into the exhibit. The process model shows early thoughts on a design that would have been formed from an undulating material rising up from the ground. The final design proposal is shown with its roof off. Although it is in a less than satisfactory position (an inch off the floor) at least I managed to get it in the show with the available space for models very limited. Thank you to Lizz for the photos.

Tim Davey

I thought the Graphics and Illustration part of the Brighton graduate show was amazing. Tim Davey's Bermuda Triangle work in particular stood out for me.

Edie

Here is my aunt's dog Edie. She was found as a puppy with her mum in a cardboard box in Spain (a bit like my first package holiday). I took these pictures using my Diana F+ camera using 400 speed black and white film.
