i had the wonderful pleasure of photographing bank house by mcgarry-moon architects yesterday.
it was a fantastic day which involved a short boat trip out to the island where the house is sited. we were very fortunate with the weather and got a few short spells of striking sunshine mixed with the typically moody irish cloud cover.
below are a few snaps from the days events. all photographs taken with the x100.
the following are a selection of images from the work of the Paper Gentlemen. the cumulative sum of three individual students of architecture.

i'm the first to admit that the start to my final year of studies has started tediously slow. being your own compass for the year is a scary thought and alot more difficult than first anticipated.
however finding yourself sitting in the studio at 8:45pm on a friday evening could be a sign that 'fifth year has officially started'.
sitting in the still of the material studio with the sun setting as your backdrop and the soft glow of an adopted desk lamp is far cry from the glaring artifcally swamped main studio space within the school.
my companions throughout the evening where condemned building by douglas darden and drive original motion soundtrack by cliff martinez.
with that i shall leave you with two images of the shadows of dundee school of architecture.
