This week I have taken a short break from what has become a really depressing task of doing and re-doing the same signage due to inconsistency of the client, and went back to what we are good at - alterations.
A client approached us a while ago to help with altering his Observatory home. The client asked for an extra room to be added to the existing Victorian house. What made this interesting was how we were going to add another room in the already limited boundaries of the site. Unfortunately for the client, the house is joined to another, with only a party wall separating them.
So what do we do? Well, there's always a way around these old Victorian houses. Because the roof space between the trusses is big enough to fit head height, it was decided that the new room would be a loft space. Problem solved.
But what we did not foresee was that the truss space isn't actually high enough for head height, so alterations to the roof structure would have to be added. The drawings were drawn up and now it was up to me to finish the council submission set. So this week I have been working on that, and not matter how small the project is, it was welcome with warm hands because it's at least design related.
