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.

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)..
