Jan 2013 - Jul 2014
Architectural assistant to Tchaik Chassay. I was lucky enough to be involved with the refurbishment and redevelopment plans for Whiteley’s and Queensway alongside property developers SIAHAF and architects Dixon Jones. Work generally consisted of RIBA stages 1-3 feasibility studies. I ran my own project concept design for a site on Portobello Road, that was to be of mixed B1 usage.
