New Team Member
We are very pleased to welcome a new member to our technical team this week – Darren Lansdall. Darren studied at the University of Northampton where he qualified with a First Class (Hons) Degree in Architectural Technology. We hope he enjoys his new home at Boast Architects as we work together to develop his career.
Re-Branding
Boast associates is now trading as Boast architects with re-branding and a new website. Since establishing in 1996 we have always strived to produce high standards of architectural work in all our projects. As a result, we have worked with a number of loyal clients for many years. The practice is progressive and continues to evolve through investment in people and the latest CAD technology.
Working drawings completed for 95 dwellings in Woking
Boast Architects have completed working drawings for 95 new dwellings for Martin Grant Homes. Being close to their headquarters in Surrey they considered this to be one of their flagship developments. Having used Revit software throughout the office since 2012, our 3D models were used to produce photo-realistic images of all house types for marketing purposes.
Residential Development at Manor Estate, Aplsey
Planning approval was obtained in September 2018 for 28 houses and apartments on a site retained by Apsley Developments as part of their much larger development of 325
Chalet Bungalow in Stevenage Old Town
Boast Architects were appointed to obtain planning approval for a new chalet bungalow on land acquired by the client from a neighbour. Pre-application advice was obtained from Stevenage Borough Council and, following close consultation with planning officers, a detailed planning application was submitted for a design which reflected the architectural character of the Old Town and avoided overlooking issues to nearby properties. We have completed working drawings and tenders for construction have been received for an imminent start on site.
Working Drawings for 40 Houses in Oxfordshire
Boast Architects have produced working drawings for 40 bespoke dwellings in East Hanney for Martin Grant Homes. Revit software was used to model the house types in 3D and produce technical drawings for Building Regulations approval and construction.
Construction Start on Apartments at Berryfields, Aylesbury
Following our work on developments at Berryfields for Martin Grant Homes over some years, Boast Architects were appointed to produce working drawings for 19 apartments in two blocks either side of a central courtyard. Owing to restricted access at the entrance to the courtyard we produced a Fire Management Strategy Report which showed that the Fire Brigade’s access requirements were satisfied and that all rooms were located within 45 metres of the closest fire appliance. This avoided the need for fire sprinklers in all of the apartments and achieved a significant saving in construction cost.
