In the office...
This week had been focused more on the design process. We have almost finalized the design layout of the Clifton flat extension and waiting on confirmation from the client. The project was a bit tricky to design, due to the small space we had to work with. We managed to fit the shower in, still having space for the WC and basin. We also managed to add a walk-in closet and extend the bedroom. This also resolved movement patterns through that area - which turned out great to work with.
While we were busy on our assigned projects, my boss had another project on his hands. He was to design an outside braai area for Metropolitan Life. Here, I was able to learn and observe how he handled it. He had used steel framework - chosen as it is easy to work with, its manufactured off site and assembled quickly on site, a much cheaper option as its involves low maintenance (another subject I've learned about this week) - and latte as cladding. The latte actually blends in with the natural environment and suits the function - a good example where "form follows function".
Well, Friday's here again! Another insightful week had come and gone, and yet still excited about what's ahead for the year.
