Project: Strawberry House Project

​

This was my favourite project to work on at AV Architects as I saw it from the start to the grand finale.

 

The project aim was to design residential apartments in the heart of Haworth with great views of the river and train station across the road.

​

I was hands on with the site surveying and design development of this project. The groundwork for this project was quite difficult as is was very close to a local stream in Haworth therefore we had to take careful steps in the foundation design in this project.

​

When Marc was happy with the design development we started the plans on AutoCAD where he taught me how to use the key board effectively as shortcuts to vital tools such as Trim, Offset, Line etc. We also went into great depth for the technical design for the walls and roofing.

​

After the client was happy with the preliminary plans, sections and elevations he wanted to see a visual of the project therefore I was given the task to create the visual below using SketchUp and Photoshop. As you can see it was a great representation of how it looks when built.

​

The project wasn't without it's challenges but the hard work really paid off and the client got exactly what he wanted. The Strawbery house now stands proud with residents already moving in and enjoying a tranquil lifestyle in the heart of Haworth.
