Last time

Our final meeting  involved some of the university technicians who raised some issues about seating for the disabled but were otherwise happy with the layout and design.

I’ve really enjoyed playing a part in my university’s modernisation. I think it’s truly rare for a university to give students the opportunity to have a say in the design of their own facilities. Penson Group, ESP Anna has been extremely gracious and patient with us. I’m looking forward to using the fabulous new space.

During this project I have had the chance to work with 2 very talented students, staff at LCC (ESP Jackson) and an award winning architectural practice. All round its been a great experience

Home Work

I don’t think there is anything like putting together a space and watching it grow before your eyes, it’s even more rewarding when it comes together exactly as you envisioned. Over the past few weeks I have been frantically choosing, ordering and sourcing everything I’ll need for our new nursery and bathroom. I’ve always thought decorating would be relaxing and therapeutic but due to the age of our home, and some seriously crumbly walls, hidden below some of the ugliest wall paper I’ve ever seen – it’s ended up being a long and complicated job. I’ve included some happy snaps to illustrate the work involved in modernising a small room in a Victorian home
