Hi there,
For a short work week I feel like I accomplished alot. The usual amendments and colouring for council and an additional five new drawings. The first is a small bathroom extention to an existing house with a little loft in Mowray-very cute. The second is a playroom, bedroom, bathroom and kiosk extention to a dwelling in Worcester and I had the privilege to consult with both the above clients. Its a good feeling knowing that they know you incharge of their drawings-even more pressure not to mess up. The third drawing is a semi detached house in Athlone, very small living space but the back yard has lots of potential. The clients would like a stoep at the front entrance and a laundry room, entertainment/braai area, outhouse and pool at the back. The fourth client is also in Athlone but has a much larger house in comparision. They are having a total renovation. The lounge becomes a bedroom with en-suit and walk in dressing room. The kitchen is extended and the lounge and dining- room become open plan where the bedrooms were. I particularly like this rearragement because the living space now opens up onto the new patio with swing doors and over looks the new pool and - the living area now faces a sunnier/warmer north, very inviting. I also got to play around with the interior design and layout of the spacific rooms. Very nice. The firth house was a huge mansion-can't remember which area but they too added an entertainment/braai area, bar and pool. It does seem a bit overwhelming adding to an already big house on a not so big plot. The space feels a bit tight looking onto the site-the living spaces are fine though, I suppose they need more room - just to many buildings, the coverage percentage is to much for my liking. Talk about difficulty, I had to merge this drawing with another architects drawing. He has is own drawing techniques and so I had to change those standards to ours ofcourse. Very time consuming but worth the effort. A lovely end to a lovely short week but the Proteas just had to spoil it!!!
Till next time
