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
Jennifer values 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.”

Stagecoach - The Depot - Townhouses
About this project and my involvement:
Architect
Employed by Buttress Architects
September 2018 - September 2024
Project value: £47 million
The Depot is a major residential regeneration development on the former Stagecoach bus and tram depot site on Princess Parkway, Moss Side, Manchester. Designed for Rowlinson Construction, the £47m development transforms a five-acre brownfield site into a mixed residential neighbourhood, bringing together a range of housing types and creating an integrated community.
The Depot's townhouse development provides a collection of contemporary family homes, forming part of the wider residential regeneration of the former bus and tram depot site. Constructed using a timber-frame structural system, the homes combine efficient off-site construction methods with carefully considered architectural detailing, creating a distinctive residential character within the wider development. The scheme contributes to the mix of housing types, offering family accommodation within an integrated and landscaped neighbourhood.
Working within a small, closely coordinated team including David Coulson (Associate at Buttress), she contributed to the delivery, carrying out the following responsibilities:
- Developed detailed construction information, including complex junctions, façade details and interfaces between different materials and building components.
- Produced and coordinated drawings and technical information during construction.
- Coordinated with Timber Frame Specialists prior to fabrication.
