My design philosophy is rooted in understanding the client,

the surrounding environment, and the desired feelings evoked

within the space to create beautiful, yet functional interiors.

I believe that a space should tell the story of its location,

history and the people who occupy it. I think that function and

form come hand-in-hand and whilst it is important for a space

to look aesthetically pleasing, it must be easy to inhabit and

designed for longevity. I am passionate about sustainability and

believe that it should be considered within all design choices.

R E S I D E N T I A L : D E S I G N C O M P E T I T I O N1 Bedroom Flat, Chiswick

BRIEFThe property was a shell flat on the fourth floor of a new development

in Battersea, South West London. The space is approximately 100m²

and features West and South facing windows. The client wanted 2-3

bedrooms, a utility room, ample storage and sufficient space to entertain

up to 8 people.

CONCEPTThe concept for the flat is ‘regeneration: the cyclicality of nature’.

Regeneration is about renewal and is an important part of nature and life

in general. When living in a busy city like London it becomes especially

important to be able to relax and recharge.

DESIGNThe flat was designed to be comfortable and welcoming - a sanctuary

from the hustle and bustle of busy city life. The colour palette selected

for the apartment is designed to evoke a sense of calm. The design of

the living and dining rooms incorporates natural materials, earthy tones

and lots of greenery, providing a daily connection with nature. The living,

dining room and bedrooms benefit from as much natural light as possible,

which is proven to boost mood.

BRIEFTo design an eye-catching, exciting and visually attractive 10m²

temporary exhibition stand to help the brand generate public and media

interest and enhance existing brand loyalty.

CONCEPTThe concept for the space is ‘Naked Truth’. This concept was chosen to

showcase the company’s honesty and transparency in everything they

do, from product development to marketing.

DESIGNThe stand was designed to be completely transparent, so that visitors

can see everything in the stand from outside of it. In the centre of the

exhibition is a physical representation of truth - the ‘truth box’. The

truth box has several interactive experiences integrated into its design,

including an infinity mirror room. The exhibition meets Section M

regulations and is fully accessible by wheelchair users. The ‘nakedness’

of the stand has a strong visual effect and will draw visitors in and leave

them with a lasting impact that Deciem is synonymous with transparency,

honesty and openness.

BRIEFTo design a wall between an open plan kitchen/dining room and a small

cinema room using the materials cedar and steel. Sustainability needed

to be considered throughout the design.

CONCEPTThe client’s mood board displayed a monochromatic palette, straight

lines, sharp finishes, geometric forms and warm touches.

DESIGNThe concept directed the focus of the design towards geometric shapes,

linearity and contrast. There are no bends or curves in the wall partition

design, making it completely linear. Contrast was incorporated in

multiple forms across the design: the graininess of the wood against

the smoothness of the steel, light and dark, and symmetrical versus

asymmetrical patterns. The blend of the light-coloured cedar wood with

the blackened steel creates a bold aesthetic, and combined with the

use of straight lines, sharp finishes and modern detailing, this design

achieves the contemporary and ‘cosy black and white’ look desired by the

client.

BRIEFTo propose a creative, budget-conscious design for the first floor of the Neurokinex centre in Gatwick, which is aimed at children between

the ages of 8 and 15 who are undergoing rehabilitation for neuro-disabilities.

CONCEPTThe concept ‘The sky’s the limit’ is aimed at creating a space that is positive and motivating but also does not shy away from the hard

work and challenges that lie ahead for the centre‘s clients. In line with the ethos of Neurokinex: ‘redefining possibilities’, the concept

takes a positive outlook on challenges and emphasises progress. The image chosen to represent the concept is a mountain-scape over

different hours of the day, representing not only the client’s challenges but also their progress.

DESIGNWith a blend of soft and bright colours as well as wood finishes, a comforting quality runs throughout the first floor, which allows patients

to feel at home. Plants by the windows, pillows, beanbags, soft mats and an L-shape sofa which patients and family members can sprawl

out on make the space feel more homely. Optimism radiates through the walls. Motivational imagery and inspiring words flow around the

rooms. The support and community that is the essence of the place can be felt. It is welcoming and interesting, inviting patients to explore

the space, with different activities and textures running along the walls. A dominant feature of the design is the triangular, mountainous

shape, which is featured in many forms throughout the space.

BRIEFTo refurbish the bedroom and living room of a one bedroom flat for a

professional couple. The client wanted their bedroom to be a haven of

tranquillity where they can rest and sleep well and a living space where

they can entertain family and friends, watch TV and have quiet time to

read and relax.

CONCEPTThe concept for the flat is ‘Shibui’, which is a Japanese aesthetic sense of

simple, subtle and unobtrusive beauty. The seven elements of shibui are

simplicity, implicity, modesty, naturalness, everydayness, imperfection,

and silence. Shibui objects appear to be simple overall, but include subtle

details such as textures that balance simplicity with complexity.

DESIGNA neutral colour scheme has been selected for the apartment to create a

relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Simple and minimal furniture has been

selected to create a feeling of zen. The space has been designed to be

liveable, comfortable and cosy, the ideal place for the client to relax and

step away from the stresses of their busy jobs. The use of design features

from multiple styles – traditional Italianate (inspired by the style of the

building) and contemporary - help achieve an eclectic look in the flat,

which is the client’s style preference.

BRIEFTo design a bar, restaurant and workshop space for the award-winning

creative hub, Carousel, in Imperial Wharf. The design needed to reflect a

consistently changing atmosphere.

CONCEPTThe concept for the restaurant is called ‘Panta Rhei’, which is a Greek

term for ‘everything flows’. It was inspired by the idea of creative flow, the

winding River Thames that flows near the restaurant‘s site, and the brand

itself, which has an ever-revolving schedule of chef residencies, events

and workshops.

DESIGNThe design features curvy, organic shapes to represent ‘flow’, including

a curved bar and a ceiling installation that winds around the pillars which

sit within the centre of the space. The colour palette is earthy, which

makes the restaurant feel warm and welcoming, but also keeps the

space neutral. The neutrality of the restaurant‘s design will allow for the

space to be easily flexed through the use of different art, accessories and

dishware, allowing guest chefs to add their own touch to the space, and

for the space to be quickly adapted for events and workshops.
