  • Post Completion – once our projects are complete, handed over and our Clients are using the new spaces we still like to keep in touch. Any defects in the build can be picked up in the first few months following completion to ensure everything is as you expect it to be. We also like to keep talking with Clients to learn from our designs and make sure we are always improving our services and that the designs can learn to adapt to the Client’s needs. We are pleased to say we maintain a very good relationship with our Clients in the months and years after completion. These include these projects we revisited this year including the conversion of a former workshop, a 1930’s house full renovation and reimagining, the refurbishment and extension of a Sheffield home in a conservation area and this new garden room and library. #architects #architecture #postcompletion #revisit #learn #Sheffield #southyorkshire #Solihull #westmidlands #renovation #newstair #oak #interiordesign #workshopconversion #newhome #extension #conservation #conservationarea #refurbishment #library #gardenroom
  • Completion – this is the stage that is hopefully the most exciting for the Client. It’s the moment that they are given the keys to their new spaces and can start to use them to live, work or play. This is a pretty exciting moment for us too and is the culmination of all the design work, discussions, development and inspiration and it’s great to see the spaces finally in use. Our role doesn’t stop at this moment though. We are there to ensure that all building snags are dealt with and that the Client has a full understanding on the use and maintenance of their new spaces. This year we saw several projects completed including a full house renovation and extension in Ashbourne, a barn extension in Matlock, and a community centre extension in Derbyshire. We also were pleased to see the partial completion of the strawbale house in Tickhill allowing our self-build Client to move in to part of their home whilst completing the rest of their home. #architects #architecture #completion #sheffield #solihull #newhome #extension #barnextension #communitycentre #strawbalehouse
  • On Site – We have had several projects running on site throughout 2019. One of the largest is an extension to an office on the corner of Glossop Road and Upper Hannover Street in Sheffield. On some smaller projects, our services whilst the project is built can be just being at the end of the phone if the client or builders have any queries. But on larger projects we, and our Clients, like to stay involved to ensure the projects run smoothly through construction. Our role as Contract Administrators at the Glossop Road site has involved working closely with the planning and conservation officers to sign off conditions of the planning approval, from agreeing the final brick specification to ensuring safety of adjacent tram infrastructure, co-ordinating specialist packages such as Structural Insulated Panels from SIPS@Clays and windows from Senior Aluminium Systems , as well as working closely with the contractor, T H Micaels , to review any unexpected discoveries on site, which is common particularly on existing historic buildings, and making sure the client is kept up to date and given time to consider and sign off on final finishes such as kitchen layouts and paint colours as the project comes into reality. #onsite #inconstruction #architects #architecture #officeextension #listedbuilding #sheffield #solihull
  • Technical Design – Following the grant of planning permission, we can really start to develop the constructional detail of a project in the knowledge that it has permission to be built. This includes the nuts and bolts of how the roof, walls, floor and other elements are joined technically and develops the internal finishes and fittings. We go beyond the 2D information for builders to read and work alongside clients to ensure that the design continues to develop by helping to visualise what the materials and details will feel like as the spaces develop in technical detail. This ensures the details make the spaces as good as they can be and explains clearly to both the client and builders what is expected and required from the finished product. We can also ensure that the final product will be as environmental and sustainable as we can make it through careful choice of materials, techniques, detailing and air tightness. The attached images are part of a visual study and detail drawings of the stair in one of new homes that we were working on this year and that will be starting on site next year #technicaldesign #technicaldetail #detaileddesign #stairdetail #architects #sheffield #solihull #newhome #southyorkshire #westmidlands #design #homedesign
