HONOURS PROJECT – MODEL

My honours project model has been done now for quite a while. I've just been really busy so haven't had chance to post. I have two models, the main one being the greenhouses which is the key to my design. & the meeting rooms and cafe which are inside the building. The greenhouse scale is...

DISSERTATION DONE & DUSTED

My contextual report has been done for some time now, which sounds bizarre because I'm normally last minute.com when it comes to writing. However I've really enjoyed researching and writing about the how design engages with communities to create safe spaces for those in recovery. It's something I am passionate about and interested in so...

To identify the areas even more I've added in ground lighting that just gives the areas a warmer feel. The main materials in my design are concrete and steel which are quite industrial. So the ground...

MODEL UPDATE

The zones within my design are currently getting 3D printed. I was struggling to model it because of all the unique shapes and curves. This area is the most complex as the steel structure is in such a different shape to most greenhouses. The detail for this area is very interesting so look out for...

DESIGN DETAIL

More details - the frameless glass system I've used throughout my design keeps it to a minimal which I consider my sort of style. Simple and clear looking, you can see the fixture that sits flush in the concrete. In the balcony food seating area up the steps you can see this has a aluminium...

VICTORIA PARK & HONOURS SITE CONNECTION

Pictures taken from my visit to Victoria Park in Widnes the other week. I wouldn't really say it was a surprise visit as such, as I've grown up in this park. It's about 10 minute walk from my house. I've got to be honest though I don't think I've ever taken the time to see...

DETAILS

Double sliding pocket doors that led to the greenhouses. *Rough visual to show the doors.
