Name: Jacob Nuttall
Age: 25
Atelier: SomeKindofNature (SKN)
Course: MArch 1

My strongest aspects in architecture are Adobe Creative Cloud, Revit, AutoCAD, and both digital and physical modelling. With a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of design processes, bringing creative ideas to life through innovative tools and techniques. Since joining SKN, I have developed a strong passion for natural and sustainable materials and how they can be applied efficiently.

Outside of architecture, I enjoy socialising with friends and family, whether it's enjoying a meal or a drink together. I’m a passionate football enthusiast and support Manchester City, playing everything from 5-a-side to 11-a-side matches, always enjoying the competitive spirit. When unwinding, I also enjoys gaming on PlayStation, balancing creativity with fun and relaxation.

Garden of Tranquillity

The space is located at the heart of Sale High School, making it a central and accessible area for all students. Its location presents a unique opportunity to create a space that truly reflects the needs and desires of the students, ensuring it becomes a valued part of their daily school experience.

Garden of Tranquillity is all about listening to the students' voices and allowing them to create their environment. By engaging with pupils via scheduled workshops to gather their ideas, we aim to design a space that promotes well-being, creativity and a sense of ownership. The transformation of the space will not only provide a peaceful retreat but also demonstrate the importance of student-led initiatives in improving their school community.

As part of this project, we will be creating physical and digital models, renders, and detailed drawings to bring the students’ ideas to life. These designs will help shape the final transformation of the space, ensuring that it truly reflects the needs and desires of the students. If you are interested in physical model-making, digital modelling, and detailed drawings and want to be part of making a real change, this is a perfect opportunity to get involved. By joining this group, you will have the chance to contribute your ideas, develop new skills, and play a key role in creating a space that benefits a whole school community. If you want to help shape the future of this space, we’d love for you to be part of this project!
