Outdoor Pallet Design

Currently working on a park for the inner city, in which materials are raw and locally sourced. This was my design for a outdoor multi configurable cinema/seating arrangement . Simple and effective use of cargo crates which combines seating, performance, cinema and allowance for vertical allotments.

Churchill Overpass Liverpool (Strategic Investment Framework)

Here is a project I lead during my time at studio F.

Words by Studio F - article  found here  http://www.wearestudiof.com/portfolio/concept-work/the-flyover.aspx

studioF is a multi-disciplinary design practice based in the Baltic Creative area of Liverpool. Passionate about the city and with a history of creative and collaborative projects that engage end users of spaces, we have taken it upon ourselves to create a series of design proposals for various spaces within the city.

The Flyover

The 2012 SIF (Strategic Investment Framework) document for the city proposes the removal of the Churchill way flyover. 2 flyover structures run from Islington, sweeping past the rear of the library and World Museum though to Dale Street and Tithebarn street with a number of walkways beneath them.

With costs estimated at circa £4 million to orchestrate the removal of these structures, it would be a shame to see this level of funds spent with little in return. The city’s desire to remove this brutal structure and it’s dank and threatening pedestrian routes is totally understandable. What if there was a far more exciting and affordable alternative to demolition that really added something to the city?

studioF’s vision of ‘the Flyover’, devised with Mark Bennett at MCA, sees the highway gifted to the people, following removal of traffic and the creation of a pedestrian and cycle-friendly promenade in the sky.

With the addition of planting, kiosks, cafes, lighting and power infrastructure, this route of hustle, bustle and speed is transformed into a thriving oasis and green lung in the centre of the city, an iconic attraction for residents and visitors

As visitors meander along the park, they will come across cafes, raised beds with planting and allotments tended by the local community including residents and education establishments, independent retail kiosks and market stalls. Pedestrian routes, coupled with trim-trail equipment, offer a welcome space for residents and city workers to run and keep fit.

Just imagine yourself in this elevated park, having visited a farmers’ market, accessing the wifi cloud and being served with freshly-made coffee and toast, with a generous serving of honey produced by bees from hives within the park! All of this would come with a wonderful vista across the city!

This proposal also animates the existing pedestrian walkways beneath the road, making them safe with lighting and activity. Artists studios and small units for start-ups, offer a link with the adjacent LJMU and the new UTC which opens on Scotland Road in 2015.

           The circular pedestrian ramp to the rear of the World Museum, viewed through our eyes, is another ready-made gift to the city, transformed into a spectacular ‘theatre-in-the-round’ space which will complement the adjacent cultural attractions of the World Museum, Walker Art Gallery, Central Library and St Georges Hall. The Flyover has the potential to become a thriving promenade and meeting space within an important part of the city centre which is central to the vision
          The SIF’s vision is to enhance Liverpool’s distinctive offer, particularly through Enterprise, People and Place, The Flyover project not only underpins all three elements, but supports one of the SIFs objectives which is to provide safe and legible movement for pedestrians and cyclists from Dale Street to Lime Street. With creative use of low cost materials, there is no reason why a scheme with this amount of vision should cost the earth. Add to this, the siting of solar and wind energy generation along the park, powering a vibrant lighting scheme for night-time promenaders and cyclists, running costs can be minimized

More work coming soon - Churchill Way

Currently an intern for studio F in Liverpool. So been very busy, my first work should be getting published within the next couple of weeks in a Liverpool magazine called Seven Streets. The piece is a proposal for redeveloping of a overpass, Churchill Way, Liverpool that opposes the councils plan to demolish the flyovers. I am asking the question as to why spend millions of pounds to demolish the site, when you can develop upon the existing scheme for less money and create a new addition to Liverpool's growing infrastructure. The proposal is a combination of market stalls, greening, studio's for the local students of Byrom Street, and other activities included allotments and bee keeping. Will upload more soon!

Augmented Reality Demonstration

Here is a quick video demonstration of work I created on my Ipad to allow a better understanding of the space in an old brief (Digital Webform). This was left for visitors to my presentation to pick up and interact with the space and get a feel for the interior, extending the experience of space that normally only comes from plans and images. Enjoy, more coming soon! (videos a bit rough but just wanted to show it quickly)

Concept - Office Desk

A quick concept incorporating the geometric design of the bench. This desk is a stripped down version of a previous concept, with a uniquely designed fordable partition.  More soon!
