The work featured in the portfolio is exclusively that of the designer unless otherwise stated. This document contains; Sketches, Models, AutoCAD Architecture, Sketch-Up, Shaderlight & V-Ray for Sketchup renderings. The work does not fall under any label or language of architecture however the designs produced respond to either their site setting or strong design concept. The designs are born from analysis and clear understanding of location and other key design drivers highlighted within this document. I hope the enjoyment and pride that was taken in producing the work shines through. I will be able to offer a wider range of skills to any design offi ce/practise and hopefully bring an exciting passion to the workplace.

Relationship to the landscape• The building should be beautiful and complementary to the future landscape setting, functional and durable.• The building should provide drama to the sense of arrival and a visual reference point in the landscape.• The building will need a clear relationship with the park to allow visitors to experience the site fi rst hand, through views out and direct links onto the site.• Whilst the facility will act as a hub, it should encourage visitors to tour the wider area, together with other heritage and wildlife attractions.-----------------------------------------------------------------------Adaptability• The building should be capable of accommodating changes in services to be provided as demand develops.• The design should also be capable of adapting to future changes in the surrounding landscape and the principal views offered from the building.-----------------------------------------------------------------------Materials• Materials and methods of construction should be selected to deliver aesthetic excellence and sustainability.• The potential incorporation of park materials (such as reed, straw, timber etc.) would emphasize the link between structure and parkland.-----------------------------------------------------------------------Sustainability• The building should aim to be an exemplar of sustainability both in construction and use. It should use green environmental strategies to deliver sustainability where sensible and practical (e.g. power sources, water fi ltration, heating etc.)-----------------------------------------------------------------------Accessibility• The building must be fully accessible to all and should comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010. Every aspect of the design must be developed with full regard to the varying needs of the building’s users.
