Awards 

RIBA Forgotten Spaces North West Competition - shortlisted, Honorable Mention

Collaborated in a team of architecture students and three architects to produce a conceptual proposal on the site around Avenham Car Park in Preston. This proposal focused on renewable energy (movement with a free outdoor gym) to power the site and it’s wider context. It also included a rainwater collection system which sustained an organic food garden (supplying the cafe-restaurant with organic food).
