Honours Project

​

My main and final project in Honours year had us sourcing and managing our own project through Planning, Building Warrant and to completion which included a presentation pitch. 

​

The design was set from the start to be fairly cost effective but with a high quality finish. I believe I achieved this by creating a basic rectangular shaped building with a straightforward central roof pitch. The structure of the building is made using a steel beam portal frame system,clad in vertical Siberian larch stained to the clients specification. The building is completely insulated and well lit to give the most comfortable working environment possible.

​

As well as ample storage for 2 cars, 2 trailers and 2 heavy pieces of machinery the building also allows for additional storage on the floor above. Likewise on the upper floor is a lounge room designed to house a pool table, TV, wifi space, WC and kitchenette.
