My career at PleydellSMithyMan ltd 2011 - 2012
During my tenure with PleyDellSmithyman DeSign ConSultanCy i have workeD on a breaDth of SubjeCtS inCluDing, arChiteCtural ComPetitionS, maSterPlanning, urban DeSign, arChiteCture anD lanDSCaPe arChiteCture. it haS been hugely rewarDing to See the Craft that i have StuDieD at univerSity be aPPlieD through real life ProjeCtS anD to See the SkillS that i have learnt be reCogniSeD through the work that we ProDuCe.
PleyDellSmithyman ltD have CarveD an area in the inDuStry with a foCuS on reSiDential urban DeSign maSterPlanning anD large SCale lanDSCaPe reStoration ProjeCtS. whilSt thiS haS inCreaSeD my unDerStanDing of arChiteCture anD DeSign on a muCh wiDer SCale i am now looking to hone my Skill Set to inCluDe a finer level of arChiteCtural Detail.
i have ChoSen the following SerieS of imageS to helP DemonStrate the breaDth anD SCaleS of ProjeCt that i have imPaCteD uPon in my 1 year tenure at the ComPany.

Self Regeneration
The ability to become a regenerative system with platforms on which the site can naturally progress.
Technological progression, vegetative progression, the progression of the sites’ boundaries and its links with the peripheral landscape and progression of the way the site is used will work as a rolling system with each element working as an enabler for the rest.

BIOMASS - 20MW Plant
Plant Production to enable Site Sustainability not only through production of energy but through the harnessing of the process’s BY-PRODUCTS, utilising STEAM to create the environment of the Jurassic Glass House and ASH to be redistributed as fertiliser and incorporated into the building materials for the progressive building of Follies.
The whole process saves 75,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
Of the total 20MW production, 2 MW are utilised through the day to day runningof the site. 18MW of energy, having the ability to power up to 33,300 homes, will be input into the National Grid.

CROP ROTATION
Experimental Biomass Plots to be planted with crops and harvested on varied rotations. This enables a contribution to the production of Biomass to be made, while creating a characterful and transient sub-space to the parkscape.
This zone is to become a dispersed public through-route, engaging the more ‘naturalistic’ structure of the sites most northerly boundary.

ON-SITE PARKING
To facilitate the parking of 600 vehicles.
GREEN ROOF/ACCOMMODATION
Architectural form to work as an extension of existing site contouring.
Green Roofs extending out from the Western Plateau to frame the Hub of activity.
The manipulation of form allows the Biomass Plant to become sheltered and concealed between accessible green roofs and the sites protective boundary woodland.
The creation of ‘Exemplar Plots’ using the contrasting Biodiversity Character Types which exist on Cronton. This accessible thoroughfare is to become an educational tool as well as an experiential public route.
The conception is of a progressive landscape, picking out the key stages in the sites timeline that have infl uenced and moulded its existing form. The Jurassic Biome represents the initial compaction that led to the zones future extraction of coal, and subsequent remediation and regeneration which enabled these important character types to become present.

Strong frontage facing onto Hobnock Road to continue ribbon of development along main road
Houses to the interior of the site will have views over parkland and natural areas.
Links to the local footpath network will be enhanced to improve links between the east and west of Essington
Hedgerow strengthening / diversification to the boundary to increase biodiversity and decrease visual impacts
The southern portion of the site will focus on delivering biodiversity targets for the scheme. A range of habitats will be created to enhance local biodiversity.
Strong outward looking frontage toward the eastern periphery of the development
Strong outward looking frontage toward the eastern periphery of the development
Sustainable drainage system to ellieviate pressure at peak flow on the existing drainage system
Gardens will sit to the centre of the housing blocks to provide a green haven for both residents and wildlife
The Woodland Walk Character area will have a prospect over the green buffer and woodland belt to the periphery of the site which will reflect the character of the outskirts of Essington.
The Streets will have a prospect over many of the landscaped areas that the development sits within. Re-enforcing the countryside character of the area
Essington Wood Methodist Church
Potential landscape enhancements to Hobnock Road
An ecologically diverse area will reside to the south of the site also providing a natural area for recreation and walking.
A Green buffer
Landscape areas will provide a gateway into the Park View Character Area.
The Main Street will be fronted by two and a half storey houses providing a strong route into the development.
The Character of Essington’s Street scene is to be echoed along Hobnock Road. This will provide continuity of built form and echo the ribbon style of development that characterises Essington.
The Mews will provide a stong back street character and also include terraced housing. With slow moving traffic and an old world character.
