House in Garden (Collaborative Practice in Building Regulation Modelling)

One of the standout projects from my university's Collaborative Practice in Building Information Modelling module was centered around the creation of a BIM package using primarily Revit software. For this assignment, I chose the intriguingly named "House in a Garden," a unique building nestled within the confines of a tight London garden. This architectural marvel boasted a captivating design, featuring a parametric copper roof and three underground floors, including an impressive swimming pool. Opting for this particular structure allowed me to challenge myself, as its complexity demanded meticulous modeling in Revit. Despite the intricacies involved, I successfully completed the entire model using only Revit, further honing my skills and pushing the boundaries of what I could achieve within the software.

Second Year Final Studio Project

For my second year final project, I had the exciting opportunity to design a house in the charming city of Bath. The clients were a middle-aged couple with a passion for music, as they themselves were musicians. What made this project even more intriguing was the fact that it was based on a real-life project that our tutor had previously undertaken. He wanted to see how our designs would differ for the same site and a similar brief. It was a unique challenge to create a space that not only provided comfortable living quarters but also incorporated elements that catered to the couple's musical inclinations. I explored various design concepts, ensuring that the house would serve as a harmonious sanctuary where creativity could flourish. From dedicated music studios to soundproofed spaces and acoustically optimized rooms, my aim was to create a home that would inspire and enhance the couple's musical endeavors while providing them with a sanctuary for their everyday lives.

Sketches

As architects and architectural technologists, our primary objective is to effectively communicate our ideas and information to clients and other consultants involved in a project. To achieve this, it is crucial for us to be proficient in using a variety of tools. In recent years, CAD software such as Revit and AutoCAD have transformed the industry, leading to more digitalized forms of drawings and documentation. While these software programs are invaluable, it is equally important not to limit ourselves to only one form of communication. That's why hand sketching or drawing remains an essential skill. It allows us to quickly explore concepts, convey design intent, and communicate ideas with a level of spontaneity and personal touch that digital tools may not capture. To exemplify my proficiency in both digital and hand-drawn communication, I have included various sketches that showcase my designs and drawings. These sketches serve as a testament to my ability to fluidly communicate ideas through different mediums, ensuring that my message is clear and engaging to all stakeholders involved in the architectural process.
