About Her
Architectural Design | Technical Design | Creative Practice | Photography & Drawing
Jennifer holds an MArch with Distinction and an RIBA Part 3 qualification, with professional experience in architectural design, technical design, construction detailing, research and project coordination.
She enjoys understanding how things work, how different elements fit together, and how individual decisions influence a wider project. Her work has involved exploring complex technical problems, anticipating potential issues and developing practical solutions, with an interest in the relationship between design intent, construction and how buildings function in practice.
Her interest in architecture extends beyond the technical aspects of buildings. Her postgraduate dissertation explored how architecture can influence behaviour and mental wellbeing, reflecting a wider curiosity about psychology, human behaviour and how people experience the spaces around them.
Alongside architecture, Jennifer has an interest in photography and hand drawing. These offer different ways of observing, interpreting and understanding the built environment, from the detail of a particular element to the character of a place as a whole.
Professional Portfolio
This portfolio brings together selected architectural projects, technical design work, photography and hand drawings, reflecting her interest in the relationship between detail, function and the wider design, as well as the different ways of looking at and understanding the world around us.
Working with others
I value the exchange of knowledge, ideas and support that comes from working with others. As Amanda Briggs (Operations Director at GSE Research Limited), once wrote:“Her generosity in sharing her expertise and her time were unique in my experience and I doubt I would have achieved what I did without her support and friendship.”

About this project:
Produced at Huddersfield University
Master of Architecture - RIBA II
"As a society we must start to redress the debilitating and environmentally destructive practice of proliferating free-standing buildings... save for the rare institutional commission, every building ought to be construed as an occasion for making place or adding to the continuous articulation of the human habitat..." (Kenneth Frampton)
In the first stage of this module, we have undertaken an Urban Study of Attercliffe as a group exercise. For the second stage and third, it was required of us to produce an Urban Design Plan for the future of the study area, which identifies potential sites for a particular project which forms part of the third stage.
The proposal for master plan and individual project is envisaged to be constructed within 5 years time of development, and thus careful considerations must take place with regards to transport infrastructure, retail and residential areas, etc.
As Attercliffe is a rather run-down area, the ultimate aim of the master plan and project is to bring back life to the area, sustain local businesses and promote a healthy life style.
I thought it would be best to attract artists to the area to live in the vacant spaces above the shops and help with surveying the area, bringing back a sense of security. A community hub would suit the area, with particular the community art/gallery centre I proposed (third stage) in the very center of Attercliffe. This gallery, wrapping around open space, a new square at the heart of the area, is provided with a market area where fresh produce can be sold at a weekly basis as well as arts and crafts once a month. For more information, please refer to the samples of work I've provided under this section.
