      Part 1 architectural assistant

      My part 1 placement was at Huw Thomas Architects, located in Winchester. This small practice focuses on dealing with the long-term future of historic and listed buildings. Many of the projects were one-off designs for private housing, with some larger scaled housing developments, especially in Jersey.My role in these projects was to attend on site design meetings with the architect and to draw up all the drawings necessary for planning application. I was involved in all the design stages, creating 3D models of the projects in Sketchup and completing the planning applications.I was able to experience the planning process first hand and attended many of the council planning hearings.

      Architect

      A medium sized practice with offices in London and Oxfordshire, with a high value project roster that extends from Scotland to Dubai. The focus is on high end residential projects where the aim is to project manage each scheme on an individual basis from concept to completion to ensure the client’s brief is met with the highest standards of performance. This approach gave me valuable experience in managing different types of projects with their own unique story’s, including listed buildings, large basements, refurbishment and oneoff new build houses. Many of these projects are produced on Revit where I wrote full NBS specifications and managed the projects on site through a traditional procurement. Show less
