MY Work
This page is a showcase of my work that was completeted throughout my time at university ranging from hospitality to conceptual designs for competitions.
01
Digital Space in the Physical World
​As a group, our intentions for this project became clear upon meeting with the Blakely team, with a forward-thinking mentality being very apparent in the way they discussed their brand. We aspire to create an experience led store that highlights these innovative characteristics and values the customers loyalty to the products. In an attempt to communicate the brand’s minimalist aesthetic, and harness this loyal consumer base, the store will act as a statement against water waste in the fashion industry, targeting cotton factories as one of the worlds leading water depleters.

Orbit
​The purpose of this project is to explore how natural light can be the soul source of lighting within an interior space for a young professional couple. The intention is to investigate how sunlight, moonlight and starlight can be reflected, bounced and refracted throughout the building, by having two stacked storeys constructed mainly of glass and reflective surfaces. These storeys will rotate in the direction in which the sun orbits. This concept will be of interest people who protest against light pollution and favour eco-friendly architecture, due to defining possible solutions to light pollution by embracing the use of natural light during the day, and darkness during the night. The overall ambience will be determined through a light, open, minimalist space, which will be achieved through the use of Japandi aesthetics to avoid over-crowding the space. ​

Gochisousama
​The concept of this design is a traditional Japanese restaurant in a modern setting. The main aim was to capture the culture around eating, but creating it more accessible and modern. It was intended to bring people in that otherwise wouldn’t have experienced the style of cuisine. This is, also, intended to capture the long culture from which the cuisine has been built on. The reconfiguration of the space brings in materials of abundance to Japan into the space to make you feel as though you are inside a restaurant in Japan. The spaces that were created are aesthetically pleasing and relevant to the style of design this project was trying to achieve. Sustainable design practices and materials were used to create as little impact on the environment as possible.
