INTERESTS
I enjoy mountain biking, road cycling, walking and playing tennis and golf socially. I attend
the gym and play 6-a-side football for the department team at university. I was sports
officer for the department teams in 2013-14.
I have been an active participant in Scouting for 12 years which has taught me new skills,
allowed me to try new activities, go on trips regularly and carry out fundraising events and
community work.
I enjoy exploring places with my camera and photographing my experiences creatively,
some of which can be seen in my portfolio. I love visiting new places and meeting new
people. I am well travelled throughout the UK and Ireland. I have also visited India, Iceland,
Denmark, Poland, Germany and France.
Studying landscape architecture over the last
three years has opened my eyes to the current
and future challenges posed to landscape
practice, and I am motivated and inspired by
the potential ability to combat issues such as
climate change, energy issues, urbanisation
and population pressure. Certain areas of the
course have been particularly interesting to
me, including urban design, ecological design,
sustainable design and working with sensitive
environments. I chose to take specialist
modules in ecology in my second and third
years as I have a strong interest in integrating
nature with design, and I have developed my
plant knowledge throughout the course.
I am well organised and hard-working and
always keen to learn new skills; I am also
motivated, conscientious and feel I am easy
to get along with. My experience has helped
me gain a variety of practical and social skills,
and I am comfortable working independently
or in a team. I have a real appreciation for
the outdoor environment and when I am not
exploring it through study, I like to enjoy it in
my leisure time.

The site for this project was the former location of Abbeydale
Grange School, a secondary school. It is located in South West
Sheffield in the ward of Nether Edge, adjacent to Spring Wood
ancient woodland and lies on steep topography.
The concept, plan and model I produced illustrates a specific
approach to site planning for housing. I needed to respond to
the characteristics of the site and the sustainable living agenda.
Furthermore I was required to developed a sketch masterplan
for the site with complementary drawings to illustrate the design
proposals.
Skills: Sketchup, Photoshop, Indesign, Conceptual Modelling.

V I S I O N
My vision was to create a
development which follows
the concept of 'cluster
housing', in which dwellings
form a number of smaller
neighbourhood blocks. Social
interaction and ownership of
space are heavily encouraged
by encompassing communal
spaces which are connected
to a larger central greenspace.
Partial self-sufficiency is
targetted through food
production and resource re-
use and recycling and use of
renewable energy. Greenspace
dominates the development to
benefit biodiversity and provide
comfortable liveable spaces.

Housing Typology,
Density and Social Mix
Myproposeddevelopmentincludes
79 dwellings and a relatively low
density of 42 dwellings per hectare,
which fits with the surrounding
area and its urban fringe location.
The dwellings offer a diverse social
mix, with a strong integration of
affordable housing. The diversity
of housing typology and garden
size should ensure mix of family
sizes and age groups.
A community building is included
at the heart of the site offering
a place for meetings and groups
events.
Attention to existing
FEATURES
The topography remains largely
unchanged, and hence retains
views over the Sheaf Valley.
Existing access points have also
been retained.
Much of the existing vegetation will
be kept, including Spring Wood
ancient woodland and the lime
avenues enclosing the site. The
current community planting area
will be developed into a community
orchard. Existing grassland will be
improved to benefit biodiversity,
particularly in the nature area.

The site for this project was located in Smithy Wood, an area of
ancient woodland adjacent to Junction 35 of the M1, north of
Sheffield. There are plans to develop a new motorway service area
here which are controversial due to the destruction they would
cause to the ancient woodland.
I was asked to develop a new large-scale masterplan, showing
details of a revised layout, paying specific attention to ecology,
biodiversity vegetation and surface water management. I also
needed to develop detailed and technical design proposals for
specified components of the masterplan including the green
roof to the visitor centre, a SUDS feature, vegetation design
for a specific area of the site, habitat and biodiversity features.
These technical details should be tailored to encourage three to
four appropriate target species; I chose the common toad, dingy
skipper, grass snake and song thrush.
Skills: Photoshop, InDesign, AutoCAD, Ecological knowledge.

I aimed to create a semi-
intensive green roof for the visitor
centre. I wanted to include a
number of functions including
habitat creation, stormwater
management, visual appeal,
ecological education and limiting
habitat fragmentation. The
roof consists of native and
locally appropriate vegetation
communities, including MG5
grassland.
CANOPY
CONNECTION
Shrubs, mainly
Crataegus monogyna,
provide a connection
to the tree canopy and
forage for birds and
invertebrates.
LIVING WALL
Allows fauna to
access the roof from
the ground.

SUN EXPOSURE
The south side benefits from
sunlight. Grassland is dominant
to encourage pollinating
insects, with areas of bare
ground for basking species.
DEADWOOD
SCULPTURE
A series of art
structures located
around the site give
the site a subtle
sense of human
intervention.
MOSAIC STRUCTURE
A mosaic of heathland

Deeper soil allows
gorse and heather
to grow bigger. A pipe dug into the
soil provides shelter
for ground nesting
birds.
Some bare ground
is left for natural
colonisation.
Bird's-foot

This is an example of an area
of vegetation designed for the
benefit of biodiversity. It is a
transitional space from woodland
into standing water including
grassland, swamp, marsh and
grassland. The pond is located in a
currently bare area of land where
woodland edge is already present
so that intervention is minimal.
DEADWOOD
Existing and new, lying and standing
deadwood provide habitat for
a range of funghi, mosses and
saproxylic invertebrates.
SHADED WATER
Provided by occasional shrubs
and trees. Over half of the
water is in sunlight.
STRUCTURAL DIVERSITY
The grassland contains a mosaic of
dense and sparse, tall and short sward
to maximise structural diversity.
WETLAND DIVERSITY
There will be vegetated and
bare islands in the water and
shallow areas of water for pond
skaters, snails, water beetles,
birds and grass snakes.

The bioswale stores and carries
excess water from the green roof
and car park to the wetland areas,
simultaneously bio-filtering the
water along its course. Smaller
swales will flow into it, providing
valuable habitat connections for
flora and fauna.
The swale also provides amenity
value, allowing people to get
closer to nature and benefit from
its sensory aspects. A boardwalk
above it acts as the main route
from the car park to the visitor
centre.

A series of 'living walls' have the
key functions of providing various
habitats and connections to the
green roof whilst being engaging
for visitors. The walls include
deadwood to appeal to saproxylic
invertebrates. Features are made
of reused material where possible,
and create shade, moisture, food
and niches.

The site is within an area known as the Cultural Industries Quarter
of Sheffield, near the city centre. It is a post-industrial area
characterised by workshops, factories and studios, aiming to achieve
gentrification. The site itself includes derelict former factories, a car
park on brownfield land and student accommodation. The Porter
Brook also weaves through the site.
I was to design outdoor places and routes that support public
creativity, social interaction and ecological sustainability. I needed
to use concepts that stem from the unique experience of the site
and explore ideas of public participation. In addition, addressing
the balance between temporary uses and long term green
infrastructure was important.
Finally I was required to produce a series of construction details and
an accompanying plan that explain how my design would be built.
Skills: Sketchup, Photoshop, AutoCAD.

The initial theme 'Post Industrial
Adventure' resulted from group
work where our vision was to
create a multi-functional area
which should benefit the local
community. It retains the heritage
and character of the site but with
a modern edge and increases
greenspace in the Cultural
Industries Quarter.
My detailed design continues
this theme. The angular form
resembles the rooftops of
industrial buildings. The walls
of the old factory are kept as a
reminder of industrial heritage,
but they are painted white to give
a clean, light and refreshed look
as well as a sense of ownership
of the place. Selective graffiti will
be kept to retain what I believe
is a prominent theme on the
site. The pathways are relatively
unrestricting to encourage
adventure and exploration.
22
Raised vegetated areas can be
used for sitting, perching or
climbing. The changes in height
control the views of the user.
Betula utilis was chosen as
its white bark fits in with the
simplistic look created by the
white walls and concrete.
Section B-B' 1:100
Section C-C' 1:100
The geometric lines in the
concrete floor break up the
space. The surface edging
seamlessly blends into the
retaining walls.
The materials relate to the
theme and character of the
site. Concrete, a dominant
material, relates to the industrial
character.

At the start of the year we took a visit to Copenhagen. I found
the city to be a really exciting place and exploring landscape
architecural projects in the city really opened my mind up to the
possibilities of design.
I was asked to produce a portfolio of analytical drawings based
on my observations and interpretations of landscape architecture
projects in Copenhagen. This involved exploration and critique
of current issues related to landscape architecture practice and
reflection upon my personal opinions regarding them.
I decided to look into how edge detail is used to define spaces, as I
felt form is used much more thoughtfully here in comparison to in
the UK.
Skills: Photoshop, Hand-drawing, Analytical skills.

The contrast of vegetation and
concrete creates an intriguing
transition. The vegetation
softens the hard edges and acts
functionally to stop people finding
a desire line.
The fingers of vegetation form
a snaking path to encourage
exploration and engagement with
the site.
A series of sitting steps deal with
the topography of the site and
offer edges for social activities
socialise in sunlight and in shade.
Edges are used to reduce the
appearance of the gradient of the
site, by creating steep sections of
vegetation and a snaking path
because the space is often used
by people as a shortcut.
In my opinion, it is the contrast
of concrete and vegetation that
gives the site its unique character
and gives the space a distinct
identity.

'The Wave' uses straight edges
to create an impressive structure
over the water. This makes it
minimal but very effective.
Personally, the contrast of water
and the timber walkway has a
special quality. The wooden edge
has a feeling of permanence
in comparison with the ever
changing ebbing and flowing
water.
This wooden edge forms one
of three stacked topographical
edges. This creates different
paths and different experiences,
it also creates an opportunity for
clambering and play.
The absence of a handrail allows
people to sit over the edge
making it a peaceful, idyllic edge
for socialising or unwinding. It
also adds a sense of risk and fun
and there is a greater connection
to water.

This park is inspired by rugged
mountains of Japan. In my opinion
it is a little too hard-landscaped
but this gives the park its urban
identity.
The geometric, mountain-inspired
edges create opportunities for
social and experimental activities.
Buildings enclose the space. One
of which features a climbing wall,
giving this edge a new dimension,
rather than it being simply a
boundary of the park. The facades
have also been used as a canvas
for street art and graffiti, which
I think gives the park a sense of
ownership.

Wardsend Cemetery is in Hillsborough ward in north Sheffield. It
is adjacent to the River Don and connected to Livesey Street. It
faces problems from vandalism and unauthorised motocross use.
I was required to develop detailed design proposals for Wardsend
Cemetery using a plan at 1:500 to explain them. Furthermore, I
needed to think about how my proposals would be developed to
enhance the site for biodiversity and people through creation and
management. I was to focus on an ecological design approach
and show inter-relationships between habitats and human uses
for these habitats. Identification of the main vegetation types and
biodiversity they bring was also required.
Skills: Photoshop, Hand-rendering, Ecological knowledge.

I have always had a passion for the outdoors and I like to record
my experiences with my camera creatively. I haven't had any
training and currently photography is just a hobby, but in the
future I would love to become develop my skills and become more
accomplished.
