Merry Christmas everyone.
We've been so busy over the last few months that we haven't had time to regularly update the blog unfortunately. With a slight reprieve from deadlines, I've managed to wrestle the responsibility of writing the blog update for the first time. Having read through the hilarious posts so far (especially the one about the office outing), it appears that I'm going to have my work cut out if I'm going to step into the witty shoes of the regular blogger (Cough, Andrew, cough).
Here is a quick round up of what's been going on in the wonderful world of Willmore Iles since the last blog post.
In August, planning permission was granted for two "Eco" dwellings at Charlton Park in Keynsham. Building Regulations approval quickly followed and they are due to go on site in the Spring.
September was a busy month, with plenty happening at the RNC.
First, the residential accommodation was handed over, with lots of positive feedback from the college and the users.
Next came the start on site of Gardner Hall.
In November we welcomed Rob Thorley to the practice. Rob is a qualified Architectural Technologist and is currently studying towards his Part 1 in (proper) Architecture at Oxford (ahem, Brooks).
Obviously the main problem we have had to deal with in the office, now that we have two Robs, is how to tell them apart. We had to decide fairly early on how we would refer to the new Rob. After much deliberation, the choice was narrowed down to either Alpha Rob or Dave.
The majority eventually (after several seconds) chose Alpha Rob, though the existing Rob (or Beta as he is now known) plumped for Dave.
Well that's about it. Here's hoping all of you reading this (and I suspect we may be talking double figures here) have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year!
See you in 2009
