Lucas’ Journey at boast architects
Recently, Matt Moore, James Gould and Chris Mitchell had the pleasure of welcoming Lucas, a talented student with a keen interest in architecture, for a week of work experience at Boast Architects. Lucas impressed us with his incredible enthusiasm and creativity, particularly when designing an outbuilding to use as a music rehearsal space. His innovative approach and fresh perspective were truly inspiring. But what stood out the most was Lucas' reflection on his experience: "The people here have made this a nice experience for me and always helped when I needed it. They were very encouraging with plenty of guidance. The journey seems like a lot, however, I think being an Architect is something I would enjoy." This feedback encapsulates the core of why we do what we do. At Boast Architects, we believe in nurturing young talent and providing a supportive environment where creativity can flourish. Lucas' journey reaffirms our commitment to mentorship and the importance of fostering the next generation of architects. We are thrilled to have been part of Lucas' journey and can't wait to see where his passion for architecture takes him next. His experience underscores the impact of guidance and encouragement, which are pivotal in shaping future professionals. Here's to inspiring and being inspired by the architects of tomorrow! 🏛️✨
Transforming Traditions: A Modern Extension Masterpiece
Boast Architects are thrilled to announce the completion of a single-storey rear extension that perfectly embodies contemporary elegance and functional design! Rather than a traditional extension, our client envisioned a modern space that beautifully contrasts with their brick bungalow. The result is a stunning entertaining area, ideal for family gatherings and social events. The client recently hosted their first family meal in the new space and shared how well the new layout suits their lifestyle needs. One of the key challenges during the design phase was maximising daylight in the house. We addressed this by incorporating rooflights in the new entrance hall and utility area, and installing two sets of bifolding doors in the extension. These features flood the space with natural light, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The standout feature of this project is the distinctive eaves window, which serves as a striking focal point upon entering the extension. Despite the higher cost, our client was eager to invest in this unique element to enhance the overall design. We thoroughly enjoyed bringing this vision to life and are delighted that our client now has a beautiful, functional space to create lasting memories.
