   Since 2017, Deniz has been a visiting lecturer at the University of
   Portsmouth, where she tutors with MArc Architecture Part III students on
   their case studies.

   invaluable work to their portfolio.
   
    
   
   TESTIMONIAL
   
    
   
   "Working on live projects with Deniz Beck Partners whilst searching for a
   full-time job further afield was really enjoyable and fulfilling. It was a
   great chance to get involved in some community projects and produce work that
   I was able to showcase in my portfolio. This experience of working on real
   projects and being able to demonstrate my skills in more than just an
   educational context was invaluable in building my experience in different
   sectors and really helped me in landing my current job as an architectural
   assistant in London. Additionally, one of the projects that I worked on,
   Sandown Town Hall, was fairly local to me and it was exciting working on a
   live project for a site/building that I was already familiar with." – Amber

   informing all our projects to achieve this goal.

 * PROJECTS
   
   PROJECTS WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN
   
   MARTELLO TOWER P, FELIXSTOWE
   
   
   
   One of many Napoleonic-era sea defences on the East Coast, we have been
   commissioned by East Suffolk Council to devise reuse proposals for the tower
   and its setting, utilising two hundred years of unique military history and
   contributing to the wider regeneration of Felixstowe as modern visitor
   destination. Encouraged to explore bold new approaches that improve public
   visibility and accessibility to the tower, we envision a radical, yet
   sympathetic and complementary architectural intervention to the surrounding
   site. Housing a range of innovative educational and recreational activities,
   our proposals ultimately seek to highlight Felixstowe's distinctive
   historical, cultural and social identity.

   FRASER RANGE BATTERY, NORTH CAPE HOUSE, PORTSMOUTH
   
   
   
   This project is part of the redevelopment of a former military research
   establishment in Eastney, Portsmouth, and is centred on an isolated building
   at the eastern-most point of the city's seafront. Located within the boundary
   of the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Fort Cumberland and metres from the
   rocky foreshore, our brief is to convert the existing building into a modern
   family home that takes advantage of the property's spectacular views and
   historic setting. Our work seeks to breathe new life into a derelict site
   whilst recording and preserving the unique character that has developed
   around it, including the impressive collection of street art it has
   accumulated over the years.
   
    
   
   (3D interactive map recording the sites rich street art collection on its
   existing buildings which was developed over the last 14 years that the site
   has been vacant)

   IOW ZOO
   
   SANDOWN FORT, ISLE OF WIGHT
   
   WILDHEART ANIMAL SANCTUARY
   
   Formerly known as the Isle of Wight Zoo, this visitor attraction developed
   over many years in and around the Victorian Sandown Fort, one of the many
   Palmerston Forts built to defend Portsmouth's Royal Dockyard. We are now
   pleased to be assisting the Wildheart Trust in their refocusing of the Zoo's
   activities towards the rehoming of rescued and threatened animals by
   developing the many underused spaces of the historic fort. Our proposals
   combine much needed conservation work to the existing building fabric with
   the addition of modern architectural features, providing expanded and
   attractive visitor facilities that will aid the Trust in their ongoing
   mission.

   THE HOTWALL STUDIOS, PORTSMOUTH
   
   
   
   This Council-owned, Grade I listed fortification and Scheduled Ancient
   Monument at Point Battery in Old Portsmouth was recently converted into
   thirteen Artist’s Studios and waterfront Café. A much-loved local landmark,
   it remained mostly empty for the past fifty years until Heritage Lottery
   Funding allowed us to realise this new creative, cultural and social hub,
   which also provides sustainable financial support for the ongoing upkeep of
   the monument.
   
    
   
   Completed as ermc’s project architect for this conservation project.
   
   SPITBANK FORT, PORTSMOUTH
   
   
   
   One of the four Palmerston sea forts protecting the city, Spitbank Fort is
   located 1km from the Portsmouth coastline and operated as a museum before
   becoming a location for private events. Following years of deterioration, it
   was eventually sold and through our design concepts and construction
   detailing it was converted into an exclusive boutique hotel and function
   venue with guest rooms, kitchen and dining facilities and rooftop bar.
   
    
   
   Completed as plc architects project architect for this conservation project.
   
   FORT CUMBERLAND, PORTSMOUTH
   
   
   
   Protecting the entrance to Langstone Harbour, the 18th Century Fort
   Cumberland is widely recognised as the finest example of a fully-bastioned
   fortress in mainland Britain. Although housing Historic England’s Centre for
   Archaeology, much of the site remains disused, and plans are currently
   underway for its regeneration and financial self-sufficiency. Our initial
   work comprises the conversion of casemates for use by the veterans’ charity
   Forgotten Veterans.
   
   3D Interactive Map
   
   FORT WIDLEY, PORTSMOUTH
   
   
   
   Home to the Peter Ashley Activity Centre’s equestrian facility, Fort Widley
   is one of the larger forts overlooking Portsmouth from the nearby Portsdown
   Hill. Our role assisting the charity involves exploring further means of
   generating revenue through the revitalisation of many of the building’s
   derelict or underused areas. The initial phase of our work will provide a
   more efficient reception area with improved social function and disabled
   accessibilty.
   
   FORT GILKICKER, STOKES BAY
   
   
   
   Located on the southern-most tip of the Gosport peninsula with views towards
   the Isle of Wight, the derelict Fort Gilkicker is scheduled to be converted
   into 22 stunning three-storey luxury residences. Having already undertaken
   the associated landscaping design, we are now looking forward to work
   beginning on the main structure, which requires considerable and complex
   renovation works due to years of decay and damage.
