Here & There...

This week ive been working on a few differant things. Mostly on the Hemelzight Farmhouse still but also sending old drawings to eng. and contractors for other jobs that are still in construction phase. Some insulation drawings had to be done and consulted with a professional in that field and a few phone calls had to be made. Otherwise ive still been working on the working drawings construction set. Busy with stairs, balustrades, the bathrooms and offices and generally detailing the house and fixing up all the problems that happend while we made the design variation 01change. The pool drawings was also updated we just have to wait until a subcontractor is appointed by the contractor and then i can send them off. I also worked abit on the barn again with some changes and a new council re-sub had to be taken care of.

Other than that everything got done and sent, quite a productive week...

Cellar Designing... :)

As decided on Monday I have been working on the Cellar of Hemelzight Main House as that would be one of the first things that will be built and it needs to be resolved and fully designed and detailed. So i have been drawing that up most of the week as well as the main staircase.

The main staircase is timber cladded with a steel frame, in the double volume space and is cantilevered from the feature concrete off-shutter wall. I have been doing working drawings and details for the stairs and cellar and preparing it to be presented to the client. Today, we have bben preparing all the drawings of the design variation that he has requested to present to him on monday aswell as the Cellar. I just hope he doesn't have anymore changes in mind, because i pretty much like the design as it is and it works well. So lets see what next week holds...

SEPTEMBER SPRINGING

Its Spring, though the weather doesn't show it yet, but summer is around the corner. Monday i carried on with the Rider Plans for the Hemelzight Barn resubmission. Then at the same time on wed. council needed changes done on the drawings so i quickly got that done and resubmitted to council...While multitasking on the house platforms and roads.

The House Secondary structure Is also very actively in the process of getting drawings out on detailing all the neccasaary components for construction. Then the client decides to drop a bomb on us and tell us that he wants his bedroom 2m wider and each of his dressing rooms 1m wider and the house has already been handed over to site and they started the foundations..... Clients are really unawear of the implications of them just changing there minds when ever they want. Changing one thing brings a knock on effect to everything else that has already been done. The electrical layouts, the drainage, the joinery and all the internal planning etc. needs to be redone and designed.... But as Brad says... "Thats architecture for you..."
