Time to Update My online Portfolio

OK so my studying career is almost over, and its time to update my online portfolio, get back into the game and enter the working world. I am no longer a naive second year student. I am finishing my 4th year degree and sending off CV's with big hopes and high prospects! To one day at least make a difference to one persons life, change the circumstances for the better, or hopefully help improve our environment, one building at a time...

So here it is (under the Tabs), my portfolio, and the starting blocks for my future.

Last Project 9 Dec.2011

The second last week here at work and its going strong, work is pumping as usual not even realising its nearly Christmas.

So this week i have been pounding away at the new project In Bergendal i was given to finish by the time we leave here on the 15th dec. So i have now finished the sketch design mostly, - Here are some of the drawings.- But while working we realised that we are still over the regulations for what we have to build on, and i now have to decrease the whole house by 2m on the south side. So it is now onto that big task and lets hope i finish it soon.....

Well after that i still have to try and fit in a council submission for this House before i leave Bomax, so enough talking here and i gotta get back to work.....

Designing and planning

The year is almost over and i have only two more weeks here in the office , and then its Christmas holiday time...

A normal week, started as usual and then i was back onto the new Bergendal project and doing some nice planning and designing with Dion and drawing up and modelling the design, and then changing things around, as things normal go when you are busy designing... So far the house is looking good and after the work and design crit we had today id say it is coming together quite well and starting to look like a well designed house. Lets just see if i can finish it in the last two weeks i have left here at bomax.

New Project - Bergendal

Monday came and i started some new drawings after the discusion at the meeting. i started setting up the off-shutter wall drawings combined with the cantilevered stairs and the bar drawings to create a set of precise drawing for the contractor to work from and pull off the design. The bar drawing is quite interesting with all its joinery and trap door to the cellar details and the stairs are quite intricate to get right because they have to have the precise placement on site in order for it to work and look good.

I then started a new project on friday, it is a modern house in Bergendal. they want me to finish it before the year is over here and get some 3D's out and hopefully a council submission. they say it can be done easily, i dont think as much. i just hope i can get it done in time..... pressure is on......

Kwl week...

Friday 18th Nov.

A normal week as many before. not much to say about it. We had our normal monday morning meeting and then i was back on to Freddy Hirsch working drawings to be finished this week so we can start finishing off that project and all the admin work that goes along with it for the year. So i basically started with the specifications for each element checking them and making sure they all still apply and are current. I then moved to line weights and detailing and then dimensions and then the electrical and an electrical sectional elevation. The drawing package looked pretty good and i was happy with it so it was sent off and that was the end of my week.

Back to work

Well its the first week back and its back to work work work. there are only 5 weeks left and we are trying to finish off all deadlines and wrap things up before the end of the year.

SO we had our morning meeting as usual. This time it was really good for me because i needed the update on whats been happening here since Ive been gone. In some aspects its been really busy. Like i walked in on Monday and i thought i was in the wrong place, they "re-decorated" the office! but in other aspects nothing much has changed. Looks like work stops without me! lol but there were new developments on other projects that came back into the picture. Which was a good thing.

This week i started a council submission for the Freddy Hirsch Kitchen. Its a very small package. It only contains a site location plan, plan, and section. Well it is only a kitchen. My next order of business this week was a scullery addition revision to a previously bomax designed house. That went well, lets just see what the clients think, otherwise its back to the drawing board, and now its the end of the week. A good week.

Nearly block 3

Well i have to say the week started bad... we got burgled...long story. then the days just kept on rolling while i tried to finish everything off before i leave for 2 weeks to go back to tech!

I went to site though on Monday and that was cool, to go out again and feel like a real architect. We had to go and take measurements and make sure of the existing plug points at the Freddy Hirsch Kitchen. To set up a full brief for the contractor with the Working Drawings. So i have pretty much concluded the working drawings for Freddy Hirsch for now they are meeting with the contractors today and Monday. The tenders just came back so they will be pricing everything today as well...Which probably means the drawings will change. But for now i got them out before i left.

Today i started a small new project its and alteration or more like an addition to a previous house they did. Its Rugby Road Alteration and they want a new scullery addition to there new kitchen. So iv got to finish these drawings by  today before i leave because i wont be here for awhile. Therefore Ive got to get back to work...
