- With fond memories of the fabulous Jubilee Celebrations still ringing in our ears, we bring you our June News from the office of KPT.
- At the 15th Century Hall House in Essex, R & J Hogg are making good progress in preparation for the long task of stripping the modern external cement render prior to re-rending.
- The Rotunda is now almost finished, with just the final fitting out to be completed. The positioning of the structure and the materials used have contributed greatly to the fact that this beautiful building looks as though it has been part of the landscape for a very long time.
- At the Grade II Listed former public house in Essex, the bathroom floor tile designs have not been straight forward, but they will look fabulous when in place.
- The restoration of Finchingfield Guildhall continues, and we have now opened up the entire frame, and discovered evidence of an arched head window, two more medieval window shutters and evidence of a shop door. We will be ensuring that these interesting features are exposed.
- We have designed a Saffron Crocus motif, incorporating ventilation holes, which will be carved into the tea cupboard doors at Radwinter church. This design compliments the theme of other existing carving already in the church.
- Asbestos removal has been completed on a Grade 1 Country House in Suffolk. Work has now commenced on the laying of a new breathable hall floor and the installation of new electrics and plumbing.
- Refurbishment of an existing swimming pool and pool house has now been completed on time and within budget, and is now ready in time for the client to use and enjoy for the summer.
- John Izod is using traditional materials and methods to carry out lime plastering in an ashlar pattern to the Regency House. This will add the charm and elegance this property so richly deserves.
- The Listed Property Owners Club wrote to Chancellor on 12 June, continuing the effort against the proposed 20% VAT on Listed Building Alterations.
- Our Images of the Month Photostream has been added to Flickr. Please take a look at all our photographs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kpt-architects/sets/
- We are very pleased to announce that our entry of Spains Hall has been shortlisted for the Listed Buildings/Structures category of the AJ Retrofit Awards 2012.
- We have been awarded Highly Commended for a Conservation Award entry. Announcement follows very soon!
- The awards section on our website will be up and running very shortly, and will contain details and photographs of the projects we have won awards for this year.
- Congratulations go to Sarah Aylmer, head of our Interior Design team, for being awarded a Distinction on completion of her Postgraduate Certificate in Decorative Arts course at the University of Buckingham, (London).
- Nicola Higgins will be running in the Chelmsford Hylands Park 10k Race for Life on Sunday 22nd July, 2012, and says she would be grateful for supporters along the way, especially to help push her up the hilly bits! http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/nicolahiggins365 Embarrassing photographs will be posted in July Images of the Month!
