I think it’s my favourite use of space yet: homely, with a calm, focussed and curated order that is enjoyed and organised but not too neat.
Past copies of architectural magazines in folder holders -hand labelled in the 80’s- & reference books line a wall, next to a drafting table where the sunlight falls onto intricate pencil line plans. Material samples form a row atop a handmade unit - all along side modern CAD technology.
‘The light from the double windows was a draw to Forum’ Simon tells me and ‘the fact you can catch a glimpse of the Cathedral spire a bonus.’
Several light options have been added surrounding the 3 workspaces, which I imagine in the seasons where less natural light comes in, will make this simple room, cosy.
Simon is one of three directors for
‘Hanslip & Co. ‘
Architects & Heritage Consultants.
Hanslip & Co. have expertise in conservation, sensitive repair & adaptation, restoration & redevelopment of Listed buildings as well as the design of new buildings in historic settings, with ecclesiastical buildings being a specialist area for the firm.
Simon says he is very happy here in Forum
and being in ‘a satellite office’, the main Hanslip team being based in London.
Forum House is well managed and a friendly place for smaller businesses and organisations to be based in.
We’re very pleased we have Simon as a client and we wish him & Hanslip & Co all the very best for the future.
