introduction

This was Phil's final year Thesis project, represented with the benefit of CAD. This industrial building was based around the planned construction of an engine plant in Deeside Industrial park East. It developed a unique way of integrating roof lighting, structure and services, that permitted continuous catwalk access along the structural grid, thereby permitting easy access to service runs during production line changes. The structure aims to reduce the high cost of production line changes, while offering a unique external aesthetic and natural north light.to all areas of the production facility.

introduction

This is one of Phil's diploma projects, based around an annual competition held by British Steel. The project is a modular office building, expressing the qualities of steel in an architectural style, known as 'High-tech', very much in vogue at the time. The building offered flexible open plan office space, with the possibility of increasing or reconfiguring the hexagonal modular units, which are also designed to capture heat through a glazed roof...very cool!

introduction

This is Phil's final year degree project, represented with the benefit of CAD. The project envisaged the redevelopment of an existing nightclub, known at the time as the Mersey View Night Club, which in its hay-day saw many famous celebrity acts, including the Beatles, Showaddywaddy, Bob Monkhouse and Tom O'Conner. The club is placed high on a ridge on Frodsham Hill, with stunning views across Merseyside, however, the location is hard to access and often times enveloped in mist, giving it a myterious, surreal feeling, the perfect spot for an unforgettable night out!

The project incorporated a hotel, cabaret hall, restaurant, lounge bar and night club. The hotel, lounge bar and restaurant projecting from the edge of the ridge to maximize the sense of being high up, while making the most of the locations stunning views.

Regrettably the actual night club is no-longer open to the public, but a hotel has since been contructed on the site.

introduction

This is another of Phil's college projects, redesigned with the benefit of CAD. The building is a small boutique shopping center adjacent to the Gateway Theatre in Chester. The site represented an unfinished edge to an indoor market, on the periphery of Chester's town center, which remained unfinished for many years. The building sits on top of the market, and is accessed via the market roof, however it can also be accessed from a nearby bus station at ground level.
