In the office...

A good week indeed...

My focus in the office right now is on the planning and design process. For one, I am still in the process of finalising a proposal for a farm house in Botrivier. The client's brief was to design a house that resembles the Cape Dutch style houses - a house with a façade of two gable ends. The house is to be +/- 400m^2 and should compliment the farm surroundings. 

Secondly, I am also working on another design and planning project... It is to design a block of flats. The block of flats consists of 3 flats that has three floors - including the attic. At the moment I am still trying to figure a way to fit those flats on the site with parking access to each flat. The process is a challenge. But surely, I am learning more about the design process and the problem solving aspect of this exercise - and of course with guidance from Noel! 

This Saturday Mr Lamb and I are unable to work due to a function on his side. The way we worked around this problem was to agree that I work in my own time in my own space at home. He had given me a task to do for this weekend, which has to be done by Tuesday. The task is to draw up the finalised local authority drawings for the Wessels family, which I spoke about in the previous post (post #6).

For this weekend, it's definitely going to be tight. Considering I have to make time to work on the task Mr Lamb had given me and gearing myself up for my portfolio submission on Monday... Hectic! But I'm sure I'll get through it!! 

Yours,

Rukiya... :D
