I am a young Architect led by the vision that buildings can serve as a bridge between values of nature, culture and people, and that inspiring surroundings have a positive effect on people’s lives. With a Nordic education in Denmark and professional experience in the UK and the Pacific Northwest focussed on residential homes and urban regeneration architecture, I have developed an international perspective and critical thinking to overcome design challenges. In London’s case, imagining effective ways to densify with dignity and provide quality of design that will resonate with core values of society and ensure longevity.
Education:Studying in Denmark was a turning point. Architecture & Design (MSc Eng.) at Aalborg University, North Jutland provided a setting to embrace Nordic values and develop strong analog and digital design proficiency. The course encouraged group work projects rooted in passive design skills utilising PHPP (Passive House Planning Project) and phenomenological design which integrates well within its surrounding locality, inspired by Alvar Aalto and Jorn Utzon. My thesis was a competition entry for a new primary school in Aalesund, Norway and selected for exhibition at the Utzon Centre in Aalborg. Most recently I completed Part 3 at the AA School, London.
Professional practice:I have worked at 4 UK practices as well as low-energy single-family timber dwellings in the Pacific Northwest, gaining a well rounded range of experience at feasibility, detailed planning and construction developing strong design skills utilising knowledge of design standards in collaborative and individual project led roles. Most recently at MAA Architects working on 150+ unit residential schemes in a 3 person team at work stages1-4; feasibility, developed design and tender submission, creating engaging and effective spaces for living, and community participation. I have project led post planning to completion high spec alterations & extension of a Georgian townhouse in Chelsea for Berkeley Group’s Chief Executive. I enjoy being part of a collaborative team, getting a handle on the overall design and setting high quality standards for well-being, functionality and community values.
Interests:Cycling, International adventures to Scandinavia and North America, hiking US National Parks.

New affordable homes to Passive House design standard - the first development of this type in Cornwall for Aster Property Group. The project gives 23, 3B5P houses with 2, 2B4P wheelchair accessible bungalows to Lifetime Homes standard. The vision is to create welcoming, modern homes that subtly integrate with the surrounding landscape with a sense of privacy and seamless connection between indoors and out, whilst environmentally responsive. Arranged on 2-storeys, passively oriented as a staggered terrace, with generous private amenity and defined front defensible space, around a central landscaped home zone. The low density, ample amenity makes the scheme ideally suited to raise a family with 100% parking. The concept followed an iterative process collaborating with Passive House consultant, Peter Warm to analyse the site layout and determine the optimum collective orientation to achieve best daylighting conditions, whilst mitigating shadow issues. Materials use a vibrant array of light/muted coloured render accents, timber cladding and alternating fenestration patterns, with contemporary aluminium standing seam pitched roofs. Landscape features include stormwater handling and urban drainage. High performance timber frame airtight thermal envelope with 300mm insulation. Renewable on-site primary energy uses both solar thermal and photovoltaic panels to supplement the electrical/heating demand. Collaborated in team setting for preparation of pre-application and developed detailed planning drawing set..

UNIVERSITYProjects
Aalborg University (Denmark) MSc Eng. Architecture & Design (Sep. 2009 to Jul. 2011)....In my time at Architecture and Design (Aalborg University), I worked with a series of different design projects with an emphasis on group work, utilising both analog and digital tool processes. The Danish school of architecture encourages design projects to integrate a phenomenological approach to place in the Nordic tradition, as well as designing with excellent environmental qualities, such as natural light, air quality and thermal comfort, to Passive house standard. The following pages will display selected projects.
“A desire for well-being must be fundamental to all architecture if we are to achieve harmony between the spaces we create and the activities to be undertaken in them.” Jorn Utzon
Plymouth University BA (Hons) Architecture (Sep. 2004 to Jul. 2007)
....First studying architecture at Plymouth, I worked on a number of design projects located amongst the south-west region, such as a public library for Plymouth, and a residential housing scheme. Key values of the school are an emphasis on responding to a projects context.

Nørvasund SchoolAalborg University, Denmark - 4. Sem. ∙ Ålesund, Norway
Area: Site 1.75ha; GIA 9,060m² ∙ 2011 ∙ Value: 275m NOK (£23m)
AAU 4 Sem. Master Thesis (Project lead)
The Nørvasund school is a competition entry for a new primary school situated in the coastal city of Ålesund, with 40,000 inhabitants amongst the Sunnmore Alps in the Vestland region of Norway. The new educational facility provides for 560 students through years 1-7 with an enhanced department of students with physical and mental learning difficulties; 74 teachers; 24 assistants and access for communal activities within the locality, such as after school events. The vision is to create an excellent learning environment, whilst rooting within the locality to enable student development. The spatial program is divided into 3 levels: i. Communal; ii. Domain; and, iii. Individual. Iterative arrangement studies evoked a ’star’ shaped single volume with a spectacular communal atrium at the heart of the plan, which acts as a permeable hub for the school with a welcoming main entrance from the north. Student years 1-4, 5-7, & enhanced departments are organised into individual domains giving south facing views of the Sunnmore Alps, each has a secondary atrium with access to landscaped playspace and 2 storeys of classrooms as a flexible, open/closed pedagogic platform. Circulation creates an inviting ‘open-loop’ that promotes a sense of openness and connects to the communal atrium by seamless timber walkway bridges, covered in domain specific colours to enable identity. The importance of an educational building called for a structure of grand quality that would reflect the values and aspiration for the school. Glulam timber roof beams and CLT (cross laminated timber) wall panels on concrete slab at grade, are wrapped in a highly insulated thermal envelope designed to passively optimise quality daylight using IES and Ecotect.

‘Zero-energy’ multi-housingAalborg University, Denmark - 2 Sem. ∙ Central Aalborg, Denmark
Area: Site 1.5ha; GIA 18,000m² ∙ 2010
AAU 2 Sem. Major Project (Project lead)
Dense multi-housing regeneration scheme for neglected site in central Aalborg, Denmark’s third largest city with 100,000 inhabitants. The site has excellent walkability/access to public transport, and parallel to Jyllandsgade; a main traffic artery of ambient hospital, police, & fire civic services. The new multi-housing gives 142 multiple configuration 2-3 bedroom units, 70-110m2 with 220 dwellings per hectare for a multi-generation community of 500 occupants. The vision is to densify with dignity; creating multi-housing within the heart of the city that performs environmentally to ‘Passive House’ standard, ‘zero energy’ using on-site primary energy from renewable systems, whilst associating qualities of living in the natural landscape. The multi-housing is arranged in a 10 storey single volume set back from Jyllandsgade for enhanced qualities of health: quiet; air quality, uniformly south-facing exposure with generous private amenity & views, whilst respecting rights of light to neighbouring 6-storey buildings. The landscape immerses the entire site in green space and encourages biodiverse habitat with semi-public spaces, and features stormwater retention and urban drainage. By combining these programs and housing types, the new site will become a central hub of urban activity, underground parking, and revitalises the site and creates a building that is activated from all sides. Passivhaus Planning Package (PhPP) was used as a key design tool to achieve an appropriately south glazed, thermally airtight envelope, utilising MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery). Zero energy is achieved by implementing renewable on-site primary energy with over 2,000m2 of solar photovoltaic panels.

Dwelling in the dunesAalborg University, Denmark - 2 Sem. ∙ Hantsholm, Denmark
Dwelling in the dunesAalborg University, Denmark - 2 Sem. ∙ Hantsholm Coast, Denmark
Area (GIA): 35m² ∙ 2010
AAU 2 Sem. Minor Project (Project lead)
This dwelling is specifically for an ornithologist amidst an ever changing natural landscape within close proximity of an ample array of bird species, located on North Jutland’s west coast near to the town of Hantsholm. Amongst the surrounding coast line, brutal concrete bunkers are retained from the nazi occupation of Denmark with hard striking lines contrasting the landscape’s more natural form. The vision is to enable a high quality space to observe the natural environment’s flora and fauna, whilst phenomenologically in chord with the natural landscape’s sand dunes, ocean and wind. The concept is to form a transition of work and living, whilst enabling a wide panorama to study wildlife throughout the changing seasons. Arranged in two, passively oriented, compact buildings on a raised terrace. This interaction with nature evokes a sensual approach through a rich dialog with the genius loci of its place. The structure uses pile foundations with a concrete retaining wall to anchor the dwelling to its landscape. A glulam superstructure, clad in a copper envelope shields west facing wind exposure. The interior consists of simple, durable, light materials of spruce flooring/furniture and hearth next to a modest kitchen. Laser cut model was exhibited at the Utzon Centre, Aalborg.

THE PROPOSED SITE FOR THE ORNITHOLOGIST’S SHELTER IS LOCATED ON THE WEST COAST OF HANSTHOLM IN NORTHERN JUTLAND. THIS PLACEMENT IS LESS EXPOSED AND GAINS A MORE EMBEDDED STANCE IN RELATION TO ITS CONTEXT - WHICH IS LESS IMPOSING AND MORE COMPLIMENTARY. THE ORIENTATION GAINS APPROPRIATE QUALITIES OF DAYLIGHT AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE NORTH JUTLAND LANDSCAPE FOR THE APPLICATION OF AN ORNITHOLOGIST.
THE LANDSCAPE IS EVER CHANGING, WHEREBY THE CHARACTERISTIC SAND DUNES, OCEAN AND WIND CREATE A UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE. AS AN ABUNDANT SOURCE OF BIRD HABITATION, THE BEACH ACCOMMODATES SEAGULLS, WHEREAS IN AMONGST THE SAND DUNES LARGER BIRDS SUCH AS SPURVES’ HABITATE.
FURTHERMORE AMONGST THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT, BRUTAL NAZI-GERMANY BUNKERS ARE RETAINED FROM THE SECOND WORLD WAR WITH HARD STRIKING LINES CONTRASTING THE LANDSCAPE’S MORE NATURAL FORM – THEREFORE PROVIDING AN ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE BY WHICH TO RELATE TO FOR THE ORNITHOLOGIST’S SHELTER.

PHENOMENOLOGY –
ARCHITECTURE IS A CONSTANT RESPONSE TO THE EVER CHANGING NEEDS OF PEOPLE. IN THE APPLICATION OF THE 21ST CENTURY THE PRIORITY MUST BE SEEN TO BE SUSTAINABILITY. TO MY MIND THE APPROACH FOR A BUILDING TO BE CONSIDERED SUSTAINABLE IN TERMS OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT, HOWEVER REMAINS A SINGLE ASPECT OF A BUILDING BEING ABLE TO BE CONSIDERED SUSTAINABLE.
PERHAPS AN EQUAL OR MORE IMPORTANT ASPECT OF SUSTAINABILITY IS A HOLISTIC APPROACH, WHEREBY THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL MEANING OF A BUILDING FOR ITS USERS IS ALSO IMPORTANT AND THEREFORE A COMBINATION OF BOTH ASPECTS WILL BENEFIT THE CURRENT AGENDA AND PROVIDE ARCHITECTURE WITH A SENSE OF IDENTITY.
THE DESIGN OF THE HOME BY THE SEA CONSIDERS THE FOLLOWING PHENOMENOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN RELATION TO HANSTHOLM AS A MEANS TO FORM AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NECESSARY PROBLEM -
- THE BODY OF ARCHITECTURE- MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY- LIGHT- THE SOUND OF A SPACE- TEMPERATURE – HEARTH- SURROUNDING OBJECTS – HOUSE AS A HOME- ARCHITECTURE AS SURROUNDINGS- TIME
“BUILDING HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO EXIST IN ITS OWN HISTORICAL MOMENT” (FRAMPTON 1992:342) THIS CAN BE SEEN BY SUCH EXAMPLES AS THE GARAGE RESPONDING TO THE INTRODUCTION OF THE MOTOR CAR IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY.
THE RESPONSE IS TO CREATE A SPACE WHICHTAKES INTO ACCOUNT THESE BINDING PHENOMENOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES AND THEREFORE ALLOWS A STRONG SENSE OF BEING TECTONIC FOR THE ORNITHOLOGIST AND IN RELATION TO ITS CONTEXT.

TO MY MIND THE APPROACH FOR A BUILDING TO BE CONSIDERED SUSTAINABLE IN TERMS OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT, HOWEVER REMAINS A SINGLE ASPECT OF A BUILDING BEING ABLE TO BE CONSIDERED SUSTAINABLE.
PERHAPS AN EQUAL OR MORE IMPORTANT ASPECT OF SUSTAINABILITY IS A HOLISTIC APPROACH, WHEREBY THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL MEANING OF A BUILDING FOR ITS USERS IS ALSO IMPORTANT AND THEREFORE A COMBINATION OF BOTH ASPECTS WILL BENEFIT THE CURRENT AGENDA AND PROVIDE ARCHITECTURE WITH A SENSE OF IDENTITY.
THE DESIGN OF THE HOME BY THE SEA CONSIDERS THE FOLLOWING PHENOMENOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN RELATION TO HANSTHOLM AS A MEANS TO FORM AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NECESSARY PROBLEM -
- THE BODY OF ARCHITECTURE- MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY- LIGHT- THE SOUND OF A SPACE- TEMPERATURE – HEARTH- SURROUNDING OBJECTS – HOUSE AS A HOME- ARCHITECTURE AS SURROUNDINGS- TIME
“BUILDING HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO EXIST IN ITS OWN HISTORICAL MOMENT” (FRAMPTON 1992:342) THIS CAN BE SEEN BY SUCH EXAMPLES AS THE GARAGE RESPONDING TO THE INTRODUCTION OF THE MOTOR CAR IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY.
THE RESPONSE IS TO CREATE A SPACE WHICHTAKES INTO ACCOUNT THESE BINDING PHENOMENOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES AND THEREFORE ALLOWS A STRONG SENSE OF BEING TECTONIC FOR THE ORNITHOLOGIST AND IN RELATION TO ITS CONTEXT.

EXCURSIONSNorth America ∙ Scandinavia ∙ Japan
I took part from August 2012 to August 2013 in international excursions to natural and urban landscapes, within 3 continents. The motivation behind this programme has been to further experience, and understand architectural processes in different cultures. Key highlights have been visiting many of Alvar Aalto’s buildings in Finland, as well as Frank Lloyd Wright works in North America.

To Whom It May Concern. I have had the privilege to be Supervisor for Joe Langmann on his Master Thesis at Aalborg University, Department of Architecture Design and Media Technology, spring 2011. Joe’s project reflects a great understanding of architecture tools and principles, and he has fine spatial skills. Joe is working constructively and focused and has as a student in Denmark acquired a good understanding and feeling in the Nordic architectural tradition ‐ As reflected in the unique project with a new school in Aalesund, Norway I hereby give my best recommendations for Joe Langmann
Yours sincerely
