About
As an architecture student, my journey has been deeply personal; more than a discipline, it has become a way of seeing, feeling, and interpreting the world. Architecture has given me a language to express what words often cannot. Through design, I try to make people feel, to connect them to space, memory, and emotion through careful manipulation of form, light, and atmosphere. It’s no longer something I study; it’s something that has become a part of me. Since my first year, I’ve been particularly drawn to the way architecture can shape how people move, interact, pause, and perceive space. Light placement, plan arrangement, transparency, journey, and spatial sequence aren’t just functional decisions to me, they’re tools to guide feeling, reflection, and behaviour. I find beauty in how tectonics and environmental strategies can quietly but powerfully influence experience.
Project overview
Fisherman's Deck
The coastal town of Fleetwood has seen many changes over time, transforming from a lively Victorian-era fishing port to a now a quieter seaside community. Its landscape is home to the iconic lighthouses, cobbled streets, and remnants of old docks that hint at its storied past. This emotional weight of making informs the wider concept of my project. For this project, I aimed to design a makerspace where history is remembered through in an environment that encourages craftsmanship, sentiment, and connection. Drawing from Fleetwood’s natural surroundings and the evocative power of the artefact, the design is considered both with and for Fleetwood, establishing a new space that celebrates its fishing industry and invites the community to engage with it through making. The idea was to design a site that connects public and private, residential and commercial, one that feels placed in Fleetwood’s identity yet introduces something new. More than just a makerspace, it is envisioned as a vibrant social hub that fosters connection, creativity, and community.
