Her Work

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.”

Agritech Innovation Hub


About this project and Jennifer's involvement:

Employed by MHA Architects
August 2014 - March 2017

 

Agritech Innovation Centre, based at Harper Adams University, is a new-build engineering process innovation centre, including engineering workshops, meeting and conference facilities, office spaces and cafe across one and two storeys. The building is now near completion.

 

Jennifer's involvement with said project was mainly through observation: attending site progress meetings, M&E meetings and accompanying site inspections.

She participated during the construction stage by developing details and setting out drawings for the ribbon windows.
