WORK EXPERIENCE<br />

Architectural Work Experience<br />

July - September 2016<br />

During summer 2016, I worked for a local practice ?Derek Trowell Architects?located in Wirksworth,<br />

Derbyshire. My roles within the company included; using AutoCAD to adapt survey drawings into<br />

proposed designs and issue them for planning permission, using Photoshop to neaten up and colour<br />

proposed designs as visuals for the client, and writing design and access statements where required for<br />

projects. The placement gave me valuable connections and skills I have been able to use in my second<br />

year of university.<br />

This particular project included a proposed single story extension to the rear of the property. In order to<br />

comply with the clients request, the design must incorporate an open kitchen/diner with good use of<br />

natural lighting.<br />

The basic existing drawings were sent to the studio from a surveyor, from which I applied more detail<br />

and the proposed extension using AutoCAD. Once the drawings were complete d to a sufficient<br />

standard, i then collated the other information required for planning permission and sent them for<br />

approval.<br />
