Bank holiday monday!!

so it's bank holiday monday & what have i done....rest!!! no...golf!!! i wish
nope i was down at the office giving it a well needed spring clean.
slemish design studio - architects have been in our office on the woodside road, ballymena for nearly a year now...so it's about time we had a clear out.
we want our office to portray who we are...therefore as architects we want it looking smart & clean.
By the end of June we'll have our much needed ceiling & the walls painted...along with some office touches like prints & images of the various architectural projects we've been involved in throughout northern ireland.
It's now 23:38pm & I'm still scheming....we've been having an update of our website too, so again i've been trying to understand SEO!!!!!
this is impossible to learn :/
hopefully our website man gareth will be able to sort it.
I'm also in the middle of doing a 3D of our barn conversion in Dromara, County Down.
Hopefully should have it finished this week amongst all the other work...a few late nights will be required!!!

Beam heat recovery CPD


We've just received our RIBA approved CPD certificates from Beam Vacuum & Ventilation.
the rep Craig Gibson was brilliant & took us on site to show us how & what the Heat Recovery system does.
It’s becoming more & more popular to have in houses helping with things like;
  • Clean, fresh air reduces the symptoms for asthma and allergy sufferers
  • No  trickle vents or extractor fans letting cold air in
  • Enhancement of energy efficiency in the home

new blog I'm following

brilliant blog I'm following & no doubt will share from time to time :)

Woeful weather

Woeful weather....and stuck in our office has reminded me....
we need to make a massive effort to get our office into shape!!
Ceiling needing on & walls painted to make it a bit more professional, plus a few wee other tweaks like a music system & TV
