Research

My research centres on contrasts and contradictions in architecture. Having two opposing ‘forces’ working together in a space. Creating a domestic space that is successful despite, or perhaps because of, the complexity that this situation creates. I am primarily focussed on residential space. Ideas of what makes a space into a place, a home. How to create a comfortable and liveable space that is positively affected by uncontrollable limitations.

I will investigate the idea of a ‘spatial oxymoron’. I intend to prove that contradictory elements in a space can work together to create a unique and comfortable home. I will show that restrictions can be used as an advantage in residential spatial design. I am interested in the potentiality of a space.
