About

Determined, hard worker, able to work under pressure, extremely organized and a highly motivated individual. I am always keen to acquire new skills and knowledge in architecture. Sustainability in architectural design stands at the centre of my interests.

Located in Leicester, this project repurposes a car park on St. Augustine Road into a natural healing centre, offering a respiratory clinic and short stay accommodations for individuals with respiratory ailments. The design incorporates a curving boundary wall, integrated with dense planting and mycelium panels as air filtration systems to absorb pollutants and cultivate a clean courtyard environment for visitors. Inspired by monastery healthcare gardens, the centre merges the latest medical science together with nature-based healing approaches. Exposed pre-cast panels, embellished with medicinal plant patterns, form a protective layer, while pink tones pay tribute to the river Soar’s polluted past.
