Profile
Hello my name is Otis. I am a 2nd year student at the University of Bath studying Architecture. I love creativity and design, from the micro to the massive. My studies in architecture have allowed me to explore the nature of design and develop and strengthen many skills including technical drawing, problem solving and CAD. In archicture I have found a subject that involves a multitude of my interests from graphic design to science and humanity. In all my work I aim to push every element of the design, through experimentation, innovation and refinement.

Interests
I strive to be a well rounded person. Apart from design my other love is music and I play guitar, piano and sing. I enjoy travelling and took a gap year to explore India and Asia. This summer I hitch hiked across Germany. I love to socialise and believe that the ability to comunicate well is essential.

Pavilion
This project was to design a temporary summer pavilion and cafe, for students and university staff, set within a wooded field in Bath. Through experimentation and model making I designed a temporary structure that could be built from single folded sheets of aluminium (1). By forming V profiles in the metal the whole structure could be supported without any substructure. In the largest pavilion that required extra support I designed a pillar also from folded metal (3). I continued the same idea in the design of the seating and tables. I perforated some of the pavilions to mimic the dappling of light through a tree's canopy.

Live/Work - a house for a designer in Bath


The brief for this project was to design a masonry house for a couple in Bath, one of whom is a graphic designer working from home, Inspired by the Accordia housing scheme I wanted to create a house that blended seemlessly with the outside. I incorporated a courtyard winter garden and roof terrace with two sets of stairs allowing internal and external circulation. The site was south facing and heavily overlooked. To prevent solar gains and act as a privacy shield I designed a perforated brick pattern that dapples the light ino the courtyard. This can be seen on the elevation below.

Doctor's Surgery
This project was to design a doctors surgery on campus. The challenge lay in zoning the rooms correctly to allow the building to function intuitively for its patients and its staff. Through clear zoning and the angling of doors I created a corridor where all of the patient doors are visible and all the staff and service doors are hidden (1 & 2). Thus making it easy to navigate as a patient. All the rooms are naturally lit and ventilated and each consulting room is designed to allow views out for the staff while maintaining the privacy of the patient. The timber louvred facade provides privacy and shading for the waiting room and embossed squares reveal themselves as the sun moves around the building (see internal perspective)..

Street Art Museum - Bristol


This project was a design for a museum and gallery in Bristol celebrating street art. The main challenges were creating a large scale building that responded to its urban context and displaying the street art indoors without it feeling contrieved. I designed two main halls that responded to the differing geometries of the river and the surrounding buildings (4). I zoned the areas of public interest i.e. cafe, workshop and external exhibition areas to create a public riverside walkway around the building (3). The user circulates through two galleries that are deliberately contrasting (2). The first employs an open circulation around large masonry planes. These planes display art, act structurally and pierce the floor and roof creating voids and roof lights (5). The second gallery is linear, circulating down a long ramp around a single masonry plane (6).
