Hello! I'm 

about me

Personal Profile

As an architectural design technology student with 4+
years of experience, I am passionate about digital
architecture, excelling in Technical Design, ArchViz, and Project
Management.I relish learning about the latest industry technologies and innovations. When not conducting site analysis with my DJI drone or exploring hand crafted virtual environments with my VR setup, I can be found attending expos such as Digital Construction Week (DCW) and the Sustainability in Construction shows.I am a proactive and quick learner with a hands-on approach, consistently seeking to make a meaningful impact both locally and, when opportunities arise, internationally. This is evidenced by numerous successful planning applications locally and abroad, including in countries like Morocco.Dedicated to my craft, I am continually driven to seek new challenges and solve technical hurdles, positively impacting those around me.

Technical Details

Complex engineering hurdles are what i look forward to when im involved in any project. Employing a pragmatic approach to detailing taking on any challenge without shying away.

Precision Solutions

Deviating from traditional construction methods can be unnerving, but incorporating advanced solutions often makes the seemingly impossible just that much easier to achieve. Click the button to discover how I used these innovative techniques in my latest project to create an entire additional level at virtually no extra cost.

Technical Plans

I can undertake all aspects of design, including Sections, Elevations, Technical and Presentation plans.

Architectural Visualisation

I take great enjoyment in bringing my technical drawings to life by creating compelling visualisations. I feel that it bridges the gap between the Architect, Client and any other Stakeholders, allowing everyone to be on the same page without having to know how to read technical drawings.

Product Visualisation

Similarly to Architectural Visualisation, Product Visualisation is an important tool for almost every industry that exists. It's how a product is sold. Here is an example of a Stainless Steel racking system that i visualised for a local fabrication company.

Regulation Savvy

A strong command of local planning guidance and national building regulations are important for an Architectural Technologist, fortunately through my years of university and my own personal work, i feel comfortable employing their use whenever i need to.

"The construction should be such that a 100mm diameter sphere cannot pass through any openings in the guarding, and so that children will not readily be able to climb it." (K - Section 1.29)-----"Stairs should have a handrail on at least one side if they are less than 1m wide. They should have a handrail on both sides if they are wider." (K - Section 1.27)-----"Special consideration should be given to the use of thermoplastic materials in internal linings." (B2 - Section 3)

Here you can find expertly drawn and well thoughtout technical details. Presented in a clear and easy to read way, while still offering vast amounts of information.

Here is an example of a recently completed project with several constraints, including an overall height limit of 18m, a maximum of 6 floors, and the requirement for an outdoor recreation area on the upper levels. According to the Cardiff Tall Buildings SPG, recreational space should be included in tall buildings. The Technical Housing Standards specify a minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 2.3m. Traditional construction methods made it difficult to meet these requirements. However, using the Cofradal system and CoSFB, a Slim Deck construction type, saved enough space to add a roof deck while adhering to the height constraint.
