Planning consultancy with architectural concept design for a new events and co-working extension proposal for the Holiday Inn Nottingham. The project included tender documentation to allow a contractor to be appointed.
The brief was to convert the listed Edwardian office building on Grosvenor Square, as well as an adjacent mews property in Lees Place, into a 36-key boutique hotel. The proposal included a 120-cover brasserie and a members' club in the basement. The architectural approach was to extend the existing single-storey side-wing to the mews into a 3-storey townhouse with Portland stone detailing. To the rear a more mannerist approach was developed, by rebuilding in red brickwork. A partial sixth floor roof extension in patinated green copper was designed that is only slightly visible from the public park in Grosvenor Square.

The client's brief was to convert and combine two separate buildings which had different existing owners and leases. Therefore, the existing corner building needed to remain physically separate, with a retained and extended façade from the rest of the development site. This translated visibly onto the façade and the architectural concept design. A retro glass roof extension was developed as a decorated pavilion which takes reference to some of the existing art deco corner buildings in Soho. More particularly, Palladium House in Great Marlborough Street.
The design concept was to rebuild the previous Absheron hotel into a luxury development which created a stepped urban park, to face the President's Palace on Freedom Square, in the centre of Baku. The client’s requirements were for a symmetrical building facing the square. However, as the site is also on the waterfront facing the Caspian Sea, an oval‐formed building was designed for the serviced apartment wing with sea views. The building takes inspiration from Philip Johnson’s Lipstick Building in New York and the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill On Sea England.

The original client's brief was to convert a derelict care home into residential accommodation. However, there is a growing need for nursing homes and after a financial evaluation it was realised that a luxury care home could be more profitable than relatively small sized apartments with limited parking facilities. Therefore, a planning submission was made to demolish the site and retain the historic, but not listed central 3-windowed bay and rebuild the property in a sympathetic architectural style. The attraction of the site is that it has a large rear plot which could be laid-out as a sensory garden.
