First semester of second year tasked us with designing an extension onto the St Andrews Sailing Club building, oriented around a ‘community hall’ to accommodate 80 people. We were given three clients to work with, each requesting a proposal to serve a different purpose with varying specificities. I chose to work with Fife council as to me they gave the most control to the designer, asking for a proposal that allowed connection with the elements. Part of the brief also included the University of St Andrews Marine Biology dept.’s interest in engaging the public with the coastline. I combined these two elements to create a public bathhouse - spaces for relaxation.

Second semester we stayed in St Andrews, challenged with designing a library for the University of St Andrews. To begin, our unit were to analyse the town as a group and create a document to show our gained knowledge, finalised with an individually curated map which looked at an aspect of our research that interested us most. From there, working individually onwards, we were given three distinct sites across the town and were expected to create strategies for two, which would inform our choice of site. I chose a site off Scores Road: a large green space walled off to the north & west, and only granting access to pedestrians from the southern footpath.
