CERTIFICATE
Baily Garner LLP certifies, that
Aya Irinkova – Studenkova has been working at the company since 18th
of November 2014
as an Architectural Assistant Part II /Architect with Master Degree/.
Our first meeting with Mrs. Aya Irinkova - Studenkova was at her job interview when she
presented admirably well her great portfolio of university, professional practice and freelance
design projects. Most of her projects were modeled in REVIT, others in AutoCAD and
ArchiCAD. After our meeting on 18th
of November 2014 we were very pleased to appoint her
as an architectural assistant Part II at Baily Garner LLP. From the beginning Aya worked very
well and was involved in the development of a variety of projects. Initially she worked mainly on
residential and educational projects and later involved in other more complex projects. She has
impressed us from the beginning with her hard work and attention to detail. She has completed
each task in the given timeframe and has always exceeded her abilities to deliver the highest
possible standard in every project.
Aya has participated in the development of a number of projects - both small and big
residential buildings, schools and extensions. Here are some examples of the projects that she
has worked on /Name of Scheme, Description, Scheme Value/:
1. Small residential buildings:
1.1. Maldon CDI Phase 2, Essex
Client: Moat Housing and Maldon District Council
Hidden Homes type developments on 9 sites located within Maldon borough exploring
opportunities to create additional affordable units. Developed feasibility proposals for two small
sites proposing 4 new family houses. The proposal will provide 2no semi-detached 2 bedroom/
4 person houses with Gross Internal Area (GIA) of 79.31m2
each, situated in Pump Mead
Close Southminster, and 2no semi-detached 3 bedroom / 5 person with GIA of 90.30 m2
each,
situated in Jersey Road.
Scheme Value: £675 000

2. 2. Big residential buildings:
2.1. Brighton Brownfield Sites, Brighton and Hove
Client: Guinness South / City of Brighton Housing Development.
The proposed scheme comprises of 12 residential dwellings on 3 small infill sites along the
length of Kensington Street in the North Laines area of Central Brighton. The proposed mix is
for 1no. 2 bedroom / 3 person house at 92m2
, 3no. 1 bedroom / 2 person flats at 50m2
, 5no. 1
bedroom / 2 person flats at 45m2
, 1no. 1 bedroom / 2 person wheelchair flat at 55m2
, 2no. 1
bedroom / 2 person maisonettes at 65m2
. Most of the dwellings are arranged over three
storeys. The tightness of the site and central location restricts outdoor amenity space to four
small patio areas serving the ground floor units. There is no onsite parking, although secure
storage for cycles is provided to a standard of one per unit.
The units are laid out to orientate solely to the Kensington Street frontage. Units are designed
each with their own separate ground floor street entrance and bin storage, with separate stairs
rising to the upper floor accommodation.
In general the design is laid out to conform with HQI and Lifetime Homes Standards. This
enables wheelchair accessible standard unit to be laid out with adjustable kitchen, turning
circles for wheelchairs in habitable rooms and enlarged circulation and storage. The entrance
lobby has space for wheelchair recharge and gives access to all habitable rooms.
Scheme Value: £2.3 million
2.2. Hidden Homes - Summit Court, Shoot Up Hill, Kilburn, London
Client: Brent Housing Partnership.
The application seeks to replace existing garages with a new residential building of 11 flats and
community facilities. The proposed mix is for 3no. 1 bedroom / 2 person flats, 4no. 2 bedroom /
3 person flats and 4no. 3 bedroom / 5 person flats. The design intent is to provide a
sustainable development of affordable rented housing which fits into the context of the site and
offers a choice of unit sizes. It creates an attractive and high quality building that sits
harmoniously within its context. The building follows the form of the existing garage block
resulting in a rectangular footprint with the main habitable rooms located along the south side.
This provides ‘windows on the street’ with the habitable rooms overlooking the street and the
circulation area located to the rear of the site. The design of the new building seeks to ensure
that the proposal is appropriate to the scale of the existing buildings around the site and
connects to its immediate context. The new development is designed to respond to the
constraints of the site and to provide a high quality living environment to its future residents
and neighbours. The rear elevation has been carefully articulated by breaking the building into
3 distinct elements. The central recessed bay uses coloured cladding panels to add more
visual interest and the remaining two elements are clad in brick in keeping with the rest of the
design and surrounding area. The proposal utilises the unused drying area as a car parking
court to provide more car parking spaces for the existing residents on the estate.
Scheme Value: £1.8 million
2.3. Claudian Way, Chadwell St. Mary, Grays
Client: Thurrock Council.
This is a key strategic development within the council’s programme and they are
committed to developing a scheme that is of a high quality and financially viable for
Chadwell St Mary.

3. The proposal comprises the construction of 54 units arranged around a new focal point for
Chadwell St. Mary. A mixture of units types is proposed to respond to the differing needs of the
community - the new dwellings will be a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom bungalows, 1 and 2 bedroom
flats and larger 3 and 4 bedroom family houses. All of the units are comply fully with the
standards set in the London Housing Design Guide. The layout ensures that all units benefit
from high levels of natural daylight and enjoy a good natural outlook. The layout follows
Secured by Design principles providing clear articulation of the public and private realms. All of
the flats have a private balcony and all of the houses have a private garden. Parking is
carefully integrated thought the development in the form of on-plot car parking and in small
landscaped clusters. The design of the proposed buildings is appropriate to the scale of the
existing buildings and connect to the immediate context of Chadwell St. Mary. The architecture
of the proposed houses and flats is contemporary and constructed predominantly in brick. The
new units are robust and low in maintenance requirements whilst having a variety of textures
and colours to give richness to the elevations.
The intention is to provide a development that is grounded on the site from the outset and that
the architecture is endure many decades into the future both in terms of physical durability but
also their style. In relation to other activities, it is intended that part of the site is retained as an
open amenity space.
Scheme Value: £10 million
3. Educational projects:
3.1. Coopers Technology College – Main Reception, Hawkwood Lane, Kent
An extension to the existing building to form a new central reception area. Design to
complement the recently added / refurbished buildings of the school campus. The existing
location, layout and décor of the main reception area, which is the initial point of interaction
between the public and the school, has not changed since its construction. The feasibility study
undertakes in order to look at the layout of this area including general aesthetics, layout and
use of the public space, new reception desk, creating a more efficient administration space
behind the reception desk and potentially rationalising the space used by administration in
order to create additional small teaching areas. In addition the reception area is predominantly
on a raised level accessed by steps. The feasibility includes reviewing the potential of lowering
the floor level to establish a level access and a connection to the rest of the school without the
use of steps.
