Issue: 2 August 2010

Building on the firm foundations laid in 2007 the Atelier 3 team are proud to be working on a variety of schemes across a broad range of sectors, encompassing; community projects, visitor centres, commercial developments, building conservation, large scale residential developments and bespoke residential projects and extensions.

We are proud to assist the local community with projects ranging from conceptual stages to completion.

In August 2009 we were invited to the official opening of a new games area where Atelier 3 worked in conjunction with Carrick District Council which is now part of Cornwall Council to provide a Multi Use Games Area in the Kea Parish which was funded by the Big Lottery and community fund raising.

Currently we are working with the Fowey Community Interest Company to assist them with their ambition to provide a Community Centre for the historic town, which aims to encompass a theatre, public access rooms and facilities for visiting yachts. We are providing professional services in developing the brief and subsequent proposals.

To name some events in the last 2 years of Atelier 3 has seen Director Barry Tape cycling from London to Paris in aid of Cornwall Hospice a sight none of our clients or colleagues could believe! Director Tim Hancock featuring in a BBC One Television programme called Britain’s Empty Homes which saw him casting a professional eye over properties. Atelier 3 Ltd is sponsoring Director Adam Raspison and a team of 5 Clinical Imaging staff from Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust. The team is competing in The Great London River Race which consists of 21miles down the River Thames. The proceeds will go towards Cornwall Hospice.

The team has worked on numerous projects ranging from domestic residential extensions to 106 unit residential developments, rural affordable housing developments, farm diversification and commercial/industrial projects throughout Cornwall and Devon for many private and corporation clients which include a Cornwall Light and Power, Cornwall Council and World Leader in Industrial Minerals to name but a few.

We provided a work experience placement for two students from Wadebridge Comprehensive School during 2009 and 2010. We also provided a work experience placement for a student from The Five Islands School in the Isles of Scilly. The placements are usually a two week programme and consist of an insight of design work and site visits.

Once again we have volunteered our services to sponsor the charity Shelter through the ‘Architect in the House’ scheme in which we are into the 3^rd year of support for this good cause. Architect in the House gives an hour-long consultation with an RIBA chartered architect, who is giving their time in exchange for a suggested donation of £40 to Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity. The money will go towards Shelter's work with families in housing need.
