Hearty congratulations to Komedia Bath (and their supporters) for achieving their crowdfunding target earlier today!
Komedia sought the enthusiasm and financial assistance of the local community to secure the future of Bath’s most diverse live entertainment space.
Raising over £350,000 will mean they can:
- Recapitalise the existing business to secure its future.
- Invest in improving the historic venue.
- Expand their marketing reach and enrich their programming to benefit the local community.
We wish Komedia the very best of luck in moving forward in this exciting new form!
Our K:Port concept is featured as a model Electric Vehicle Charging Hub (EVCH) in the latest RAC Foundation paper, entitled ‘Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure – What Can Be Done‘
The paper has been written to review the effectiveness of the existing Charge Point Network (CPN) in the light of recent advances in technology, and to evaluate the suitability of the Government’s Automated and Electric Vehicle Bill for achieving the improvements in the CPN that will be required.
K:Port appears on page 24 of the paper as an example of what a future EVCH might contain and how it might work.
We are absolutely delighted to report that we have 2x winning projects in the Structural Timber Awards 2017.
Judges testimonial: “A great example of what CLT can provide – both structurally and aesthetically.”
Judges testimonial: “This is a superb demonstration of how to perform under extreme programme pressure without compromising on quality.”
Big thanks to all involved, especially our very supportive and timber-savvy clients!
Hewitt Studios have recently secured detailed planning permission for a number of residential plots and a relocated farm for Herefordshire and Ludlow College at Holme Lacy.
The residential sites will provide a sustainable solution to local housing need, whilst preserving and reinvigorating the site’s heritage assets, including several listed farm buildings.
The farm will create a more flexible working agricultural facility, better suited to the College’s educational focus.
FX Magazine have published a follow up to our 2013 ‘If Only…‘ article noting the strong parallels between our fantastical proposals for a Severn Estuary Environmental Research Hive and our Berkeley Green Renewable Energy Skills Centre which opens this month.
Read the full article in our Press section here.
We are pleased to report that Berkeley Green UTC was handed over earlier today ahead of schedule, below budget and with zero defects(!)
A huge thanks to Kier Construction for all their efforts to make this possible and best of luck to UTC Principal Paul Ramage as the first students come through the doors in a couple of weeks.
We are delighted to be 3x shortlisted in the Structural Timber Awards 2017.
Winners will be announced on 10th October 2017 at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham.
