King's College Student Activity Centre

What will the future of education look like?

Student Activity Centre reinvents the traditional Student Union spaces as a huge recreational and educational complex. Located in 18th century Guy’s Hospital- right next to the Shard and London Bridge station. It is currently a part of King’s College medical campus.

The design of this project is focused around openness and collaboration to provide students with the best social and educational spaces. The existing central communication core of the building is wrapped with new inserted stairs. Thanks to cutting through the existing levels we are able to see through the whole volume of the North Wing of the building. The spaces chosen and designed for this project were chosen based on research into future generations.

    MA Interior Design, 2018

  • My work as an Interior Designer gravitates towards work space design and product design. The spaces I create are usually stenographic and vibrant. I feel confident in designing within the existing fabric. Inspiration for all my projects is the re-translation of function within interior spaces.


    I am very interested in subjectivity of perception and how it can be used to create playful connections within each subject.
