The Box

Concept design for a lightweight timber structure on top of a refurbished garage outbuilding as a first floor extension for a 1930s private house in Esher, Surrey, UK.

Insulated shutter panels fold and slide over the windows to give the appearance of a perfect box when closed.

A new timber pergola completes the courtyard.

Medal Design for Scottish Rowing Championships

The silver coloured medal and wide white ribbon combine to form a Saltire or St. Andrew’s cross, a national symbol. Hanging around the medalist’s neck, the medal and its wearer combine to form a Scottish flag. The design is a break away from traditional round medal shapes. The assymmetrical form with its oar-shaped cutout makes the medal unique and instantly recognisable as a Scottish Rowing trophy.

Ribbon is threaded through oar-shaped cutout
