Millbay Port & Dock Footbridge

After visiting the developing Millbay docks, I found that pedstrian access to the ferry came last as haulage and car traffic were the main priority.  The bridge not only acts as a walkway, but is used as a reminder to Plymouth and further afield that the ferrys are still in use for tourism. The design mimmics a skeletal creature emerging from the sea.

Plymouth Gin Distillery Interior Design

The Plymouth Gin distillery is designed around the tasting experience of the gin.  The entrance acs as the first sensation, smell. It has live botanicals such as Juniper lodged into the walls, this entices the public into the building and also gives the feeling that the building itself is an ingredient.  The lobby acts as the initial taste of gin, lots of movement with sharp notes of citrus. The pathing stones act as glass taste buds which extrude up and down, dependant on how many people are in the room, it also sculpts the stairway to the rest of the building.  The stage/tasting area represents the lasting taste of the gin with its warm spice aromas. The series of extruded glass tiles create a custom made environment for tasting sessions. Tables and stools can be extruded if needed. The design is very dynamic and open for many different scenarios.

Exhibition Work - 'Corona Pavilion'

Corona Pavilion inspired by the grasp of a bottle and the impression left on the bottle. The construction of the pavilion uses the traditional Mexican building technique of rammed earth.

As this pavilion would travel site to site. The bulk of the design is in the rammed earth platform which would be sourced at the site. This leaves only the steel and canvas canopy to be transported.

Fistral Beach Surf Shelter

The sheltered kiosk is designed for surfers to get changed at the car park on Fistral beach, away from the elements.

Tubular structures cast into the concrete walls play with the wind to create sound patterns, enabling the public to hear as well as feel the wind directions.
