ABOUT ME

PROFILE 

I am a self-motivated individual with a passion for thoughtful 

architectural design. I have the initiative and determination to 

accomplish tasks to a high level of detail, with the ability to 

communicate my ideas clearly to colleagues and clients. I work 

well as part of a team and use my initiative when assuming 

tasks as an individual. 

During my four years of post part 1 professional experience, 

I have undertaken a number of projects in the private sector, 

predominantly bespoke residential projects. I am particularly 

passionate about this sector but I am keen to develop my professional 

experience within the public sector. 

Favouring honesty within structures, being true to their materials 

and construction, has lead me to be aware of and think 

critically about the reality of the architecture of the built environment. 

My passion for design lies in a desire to convey functionality, 

efficiency and beauty.

Design Studio 6 

Centred on the design strategy of Sense, Map, Analyse, 

Formulate, Design Studio 6 developed design strategies based 

upon measurable information and data sets. 

Project Abstract 

Small particulates within the air have a dramatic impact on 

our health as they penetrate deep into our lungs, affecting 

both short and long-term health. The residents of South Korea 

have been plagued with health problems incurred by poor air 

quality. 

Songdo is aimed at the young professional family and the 

Pneumatic Sanctuary provides the young population with a 

community care facility and childcare centre to help educate 

and protect them from this burden. Utilising the power of 

wind, the Pneumatic Sanctuary harvests and treats the 

particle matter laden air. This is then distributed to the catalyst 

building, external pockets and into a proposed underground 

piped infrastructure. It is acknowledged that “exposure to 

air pollutants is largely beyond the control of individuals” 

(World Health Organisation). Installing the proposed clean 

air infrastructure would supply all inhabitants with this vital 

ingredient to a healthy life.

Sustainable Building, Performance & Design 

Sustainable Building, Performance & Design (SBPD) is 1 of 6 specialisation topics that each 

first year MArchD student selects from to concentrate their first year studies on. 

SBPD acts as a vehicle to allow you to explore human, social, economic and environmental 

sustainability. Changing our approach to architecture is vital if we are to reduce our 

dependency on non-renewable source of energy and reduce our ecological footprint. 

Project Abstract 

Located on the cities northern boundary, Oxford’s ‘Northern Gateway’ is an existing 

development that plans to introduce a new science hub and affordable housing to the city. 

The aim of our project was to access the proposed scheme‘s approach to sustainable living 

and come up with a proposal that would enhance the site beyond this. 

After conducting a research paper investigating the carbon dioxide reduction possible by 

onsite generation of heat and electricity using a decentralised energy system, the possibility 

of reducing emissions further through onsite growth of biomass became intriguing. The lead 

onto my design project becoming research based around the topics of energy production, 

carbon dioxide reduction and biomass. 

The scheme developed into a research facility for alternative algae based fuels that focused on 

producing pyrolysis oil, the ‘Innovation Research Hub’. The building also acts as a pedestrian 

gateway from the western edge of the site, whilst also performing as an educational facility 

about sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. The process of cultivating algae offsets the 

carbon dioxide produced due to heating and powering the properties within the entire site. 

Overall, the Innovative Research Hub aimed to replace oil with a low carbon alternative to 

produce products that would other wise use fossil fuels for the formation.

Homage to Hockney 

Bridlington is a small coastal town located in the East Riding 

of Yorkshire. Bridlington’s harbour is its prominent feature, 

the town’s activity concentrate here, where you are able to 

observe the fisherman in the water below. 

This project assessed the need for regeneration within 

seaside towns after the demise of their tourist industry and 

it was deemed that the development of an art school and 

gallery would provide for both tourists and the population 

that inhabits the local area. 

It was important to me to mould the building and the harbours 

edge to form an outdoor area to enjoy the atmosphere of the 

working sea front. I therefore broke the harbour wall and 

formed steps down to create a way to get close and level with 

the action, forming a unique viewpoint that would attract 

pedestrians to walk around and under the gallery. 

The ground floor of this scheme has the entrance to the gallery 

as well as exhibition spaces for artists of all ability, aiding the 

promotion of both the artist and the gallery itself.

Vinification 

A winery was to be designed and set within the beautiful 

Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, owned by the National 

Trust. Incorporating the running of this new venture with the 

existing activities at the park was key. 

The proposed pathway through the winery site allows for the 

high vantage point, initiating the introduction to the building 

and processes. The main path diverts the public through the 

centre of the building over the top of the barrel room with the 

aim of encouraging interaction between the visitors and the 

wine making process. 

The process of wine making is a very linear one and each 

section of the wine making process needs specific conditions. 

This is all reflected in the functionality of the building and 

it’s linear from. The vinification process can be viewed from 

various vantage points from the multiple levels throughout. 

For example, the vines you can see from above, underneath 

and from within.

CHARLIE LUXTON DESIGN 

Mar 2015 - Sep 2016 

Part I & II Architectural Assistant 


Charlie Luxton Design, a small office based in the North 

Oxfordshire Country side, was formed 2005. There are 

currently 5 members of staff employed by the firm. 

With twelve years experience in designing environmental 

buildings, Charlie Luxton Design specialise in sustainability 

and designs that respond to local materials, traditions and 

climate. The projects within the office are primarily bespoke 

residential within Oxfordshire.

Broadstone 

Private Residential 

Charlbury - Oxfordshire 

Broadstone is a long-running project to 

modernise a rambling farmstead into a large 

family home and guest wing. 

Joining CLD when this project was already on 

site, I design joinery for on site construction 

and co-ordinated the kitchen design. I later 

aided in producing the planning sets for Phase 

3, which is currently under construction.

Garlands Farm 


West Challow - Oxfordshire 

Garlands Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse of special 

architectural and historical interest. The farmhouse was 

refurbished and new sympathetic structures were constructed 

on the footprint of the original farmyard to add further 

accommodation to the family home. The client also intends 

to run a social enterprise organisation from an existing barn. 

I aided in producing the planning and working drawings sets, 

including joinery detailing for the bathrooms, bedrooms and 

staircases.

Lamorna 


Charlbury - Oxfordshire 

The remodelling of an existing 1960’s 

bungalow into family home, being insulated 

internally and over clad externally. 

I produced 3D models to develop the scheme, 

leading onto me producing the planning set 

of drawings. As of spring 2017, the scheme 

has gained planning permission and is due to 

start on site.

August House 


Burford - Oxfordshire 

The refurbishment and extending of a 

farmhouse into a ‘home for life’, this project 

was designed to use minimal energy whilst 

being sympathetic to its setting. 

I was involved with producing the planning 

set and the beginning of the construction 

drawings. The project began onsite in October 

2016.

Ambury Barn 


Barnard Gate - Oxfordshire 

The client for Ambury Barn was relocating to Oxfordshire 

to be nearer her family. The proposed barn was in a good 

condition with all it’s original beams and trusses and the work 

would be done under permitted development. Once the barn 

is converted there will be four generations of the family living 

at the farm. 

I was involved from first client meeting with this project, 

developing the project and producing all planning drawings. 

I later contributed towards producing the construction 

drawings. 

As of September 2016, the scheme was going through a cost 

reduction process, but was due to start onsite in early summer 

2017.

TYACK ARCHITECTS 

May 2011 - Aug 2014 

Part I Architectural Assistant 


Tyack Architects is based in Moreton-in-Marsh in the North 

Cotswolds. It was established in 1974 and employes 20-25 

people. 

Their private sector work largely consists of mature or historic 

dwellings with clients wishing to restore or extend their 

homes. They also work on new dwellings within the private 

sector. 

There are a number of large Care Centre schemes which 

Tyack are the leading architects on, creating well equipped 

developments providing assisted living accommodation for 

the elderly.

Maxwell’s Piece 


Lower Lemington - Gloucestershire 

Maxwell’s Piece & Pond Cottage were a pair of semi detached 

houses in the hamlet of Lower Lemington. Tyack Architects 

assisted in developing the pair of houses to create a single 

family dwelling of an appropriate size to the generous plot. 

The design was carefully considered in order to add interest 

through the use of contrasting, traditional materials and 

improved architectural features without detrimentally 

effecting the character of the original structure. 

T Y A C K A R C H I T E C T S 

Involvement 

Selection of projects undertaken during placement since May 2010 

Maxwell’s Piece was entering stage C/D when I began at 

Tyack Architects. I prepared the drawings for the pre-app 

and the full planning application. I assisted with the building 

regs drawings underneath a technician, going onto observe 

tendering. 

Maxwell’s began on site in mid-2012 and I was on site every 

4-6 weeks, observing the project progressing through the 

stages.

On-site Observation

Churchill Road 

Residential Development 

Chipping Norton - Oxfordshire 

This housing development is on a greenfield site on the 

outskirts of the Cotswold town of Chipping Norton. With the 

site being situated on a main arterial route into the town, 

there was an intention to improve this gateway into Chipping 

Norton. The project is of low density with 50% affordable 

housing upon the site. 

Involvement 

Entering the practice in early 2013, I was involved since stage 

A, attending all meetings with the clients and contractors, 

on and off site. Working alongside a senior Architect, I have 

developed the site plan and all the units, making sure they 

abide by all regulations. 

Several versions of the scheme went in for planning, however 

it was not granted planning due predominantly to its sensitive 

location.

Care Villages - Assisted Living Units 

Health Care 

Varying Locations 

Whilst I was working at Tyack Architects there were eight 

nationwide Care Village schemes being worked on within the 

office, all at varying stages. Two developments had started on 

site, with another just gaining planning. 

The main components that make up a Care Centres are the 

Village Core and Assisted Living Units (ALUs). 

Involvement 

I predominantly worked within stages C/D on the majority 

of Health Care projects which enter the practice. The initial 

designs and the external elevations are developed by a senior 

architect and handed over as design intent drawings. I then 

took each Assisted Living Unit from concept drawings, to 

planning and then onto building regs drawings, making sure 

they abide by regulations and that all services worked.

Care Villages - Village Centre 

Health Care 

Varying Locations 

The layout of the Village Cores became my responsibility once 

I had gained the knowledge needed through observation of 

previous projects. 

I developed the individual units that make up the Village 

Centre, producing the planning and building regs drawings. 

After receiving the design intent drawings I developed the 

drawings ensuring the buildings worked efficiently. Joining 

my pre-formed units, I adjusted the layout and services to 

improve the functionality.

COMMUNITY 

INVOLVEMENT

PARISH COUNCILLOR 

May 2015 - Present 

Vice Chairman 

Cherington & Stourton Joint Parish Council 

Cherington & Stourton are villages situated in the south 

of Warwickshire, with a population of approximately 400 

residents. As part of the dwindling younger generation in the 

village community, I wished to make a positive contribution 

and bring issues regarding affordable housing to the attention 

of council and community. 

Having been elected as a parish councillor, working in the role 

of Vice Chairman since May 2016, I represent & support our 

rural community in meeting their needs and aspirations. We 

have bi-monthly meeting to discuss matters arising, and we 

frequently have planning meeting between.
