In the office...

A new job had come in from Tokai. On Monday we had taken a look at what the client needed and addressed a verbal brief on the job. The client wants his current house altered so that he could accommodate his mother. We were to draw up the existing plan and then come up with a few sketch plans. For this week we had been thinking of ways it would suit his mother and make it a comfortable space for her to live in (especially for the fact that she is in her old age). We had thought of the orientation & position of the bedroom (where it would be warm enough for her to sleep), etc.    

We had jumped back to working on the 2nd Avenue job. Here we had to draw up new sketch plan layouts of the flats. The reason for changing the layouts was that the Heritage Western Cape council would not allow for the demolition of an old existing building on the site, therefore Noel has revised the layouts to account for this existing building - which still makes a good layout, revised to 2 blocks of flats (whereas it was 3) and accommodation to the existing old building (although alterations needed).     

Thanks. Have a good weekend :)
