Weston Centre

I have been on work experience with Derek Trowell Architects for a week. They gave me a project to help them with. I built a model of a proposal to extend and alter the Weston Centre in Duffield. This has been built to scale, and will be used to show the users of the building our ideas. Jade Craddock.

Crazy Golf Course


We have recently been commissioned to design a crazy golf course and children's sculpture trail at Rosliston Forestry Centre.
We have worked closely with the client, sculpturer and Derwent Treescapes in order to produce an interesting design using a series of timber decks set in woodland. Sweeping paths link the decks and ensure the game is fully accessible.

Our clients were keen to maximise the stunning south facing views whilest respecting the privacy of their neighbours. To do this we designed a carefully crafted timber balcony off the living space and looking accross the valley.
