Cambridge Map Library & Depository

2011 — degree project

Designed to store 1.2 million maps, the library is intricately linked to its context, highlighting the value and accessibility of the collection. Its strategic location connects it to two water systems, a public pathway and a bicycle line. The building acts as a 'machine' embedded into the dynamic systems of the site. The project won the Silver Medal and the Best Presentation award at the RIBA Yorkshire Student Awards and has been nominated for the President's Medals Awards.
Process: Cambridge has the largest number of cyclists in the UK. As part of an intuitive response to the site, which has a cycle line cutting through it, I dismantled and fixed a bicycle found in a nearby skip. During this process, the mechanical parts of the bicycle were documented and later integrated into the design of the building.

New Wortley

2010 — in progress

The community centre in New Wortley is in need of major repairs and additional space. As part of a self initiated scheme by Simon Warren (LMU) and John Murphy (Buro Four), an open competition for a new building and the redesign of the existing was held. My entry won the commission and since early 2010 I have been working with the centre to realise the scheme. The proposal envisions an inspirational multi-purpose space with commercial functions that will enable the centre to sustain itself in future. Environmental sustainably is an important factor with an aim to keep maintenance and bills to a minimum.

Fareshare

—2010

As a team from the Leeds School of Architecture, we designed and built an office and staffroom for the Fareshare charity, which redistributes surplus food to people in need. Their original office was too small and cold. All the materials were sourced from charities or eBay, with a total build cost of £1500 with 20 days of construction. The completed project consists of modular construction timber rooms that can be dismantled and relocated. The scheme was submitted to the AJ Small Projects competition.

Saltaire

2010

The Salts Mill Cinema, located at the heart of the Mill will merge it back into the social life of the town.
The space of the courtyard, with its dramatic existing York stone elevations and elongated plan, directed the brief from the beginning of the project. Although the space itself is publicly accessible, it still retains a feeling of privacy due to the high walls on its three sides. This creates an atmosphere of exclusivity and strangeness the idea of a community space.
The initial concept was inspired by a scene in the film ‘Cinema Paradiso’ where film is mirror projected onto a wall of a building in the village square to satisfy the almost rioting locals who wanted to see it again. The existing derelict courtyard will be transformed into a public piazza, where people can visit not just to watch a film, but to socialise and meet people, have a coffee or sit outside to enjoy the outdoor cinema by local artists and cinematographers. It will create informal series of spaces that can function independently and at the same time create a dynamic relationship between each other.
