The site's past as a bird park is acoustically experienced by a cuckoo clock playing determinate bird songs at the times of the day and on the days of the year at which the species sing.
The installation simulates the spatial organisation of the former bird park by having five nests (speakers) placed in five different lakes, each playing the sound of 20 species from their relative continent.
The result is a central clock connected to the nests with wires hanging between the trees.
In a dystopic reality inspired by Tarkovsky’s post-apocalyptic 1976 film ‘Stalker’ – the Stalker of Flimwell Park is a professional guide of the forest for anyone who dares to venture back into the now forgotten woodlands of Flimwell.
'At Rest' – The stalker's hand-crafted timber legs using simple joinery connections is a deliberate choice in materiality to contrast its high-tech futuristic look. This draws emphasis to the way humankind has shifted nature to fit our own advances.

Friendly giants have temporarily settled in Camden and invite us to reimagine architecture as the characters that inhabit our cities. Their mission: to accommodate a touring puppet troupe while they spread their craft to the local community.
The renders shows the friendly giants as they come to life within their environment. With Camden Gardens as their stage, a dynamic performance of light and shadow is revealed, painting whimsical characters and stirring imaginations.

The under-arch space in the south building is used as a lobby area including bathrooms and office spaces. The colonnade creates a tunnel effect in either x/y direction. The under-arch space accesses the heliotherapy pod through individual stairs.
The north building holds the individual flat spaces where each individual has a meditative bath space on the ground floor and residential space above. A treatment used towards the end of the day helps patients with seasonal affective disorder.
