The Agrarian team are very busy working upon a large
equestrian centre for a regional division of the Police Force. This scheme is
proving to be challenging with both its size and complexities but we are really
enjoying the challenge.
The large schemes submitted for student accommodation
in the Midlands have been successful in gaining planning permission so a very
big pat on the back for all those involved. The construction teams are now busy
converting these old buildings with a considerable amount of thought.
A scheme to convert a large dwelling in London into
three flats has begun on site with works progressing well. As soon as possible
I will post some photographs.
On another site, a barn conversion is in its final
stages. This particular scheme is being developed
by the Agrarian team. It consists of a
large, three bedroom, single storey barn conversion, complete with en-suite and
a large family bathroom, coupled with a very large family room/kitchen. Many of
the rooms have large picture windows and vaulted ceilings. The barn has the benefit of underfloor
heating and travertine floor covering.
With this project we are very proud of the design and the construction
works and I think it warrants a few blog pages of its own, so please come back
soon and I will ensure that there are plenty of "before" and "after" photographs.
On a different note, I feel that I am slipping into
old age, I was discussing with a client how computers and the internet have
changed our lives and work over the last ten years. This change has been phenomenal but it has
also affected children’s behaviour significantly. This is particularly marked when
I compare my children and their use of these gadgets compared to my childhood
of building dens and playing with sticks with my friends ! My son is able to
play online with four of his friends from the comfort of his armchair with all of
his friends being 30 miles apart ! Mmm how
things change !
