A few recent photos from Royal Albert Road – Getting very close now !

The birch plywood is back from the lazer cutter and ready for piecing together – Lea is on the tools and it’s going to be great!

Phase 2 of the New WC installation works is approaching completion at the Wellcome Collection Museum in London. 310 Studio’s custom Corian sink has been installed along with the bespoke sink units for the 10 individual cubicles. More to follow..

Work is progressing well on phase 1 of the build at Cedar Creek Lake – the fabulous boat dock and deck by Big Bud! 

310 studio’s beautiful contemporary white powder coated steel and oak staircase has been installed at Elgin Park and is looking rather well ..Bespoke handrail to follow! 

There’s an interesting exhibition on at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol documenting resistance movements in the context of gender politics + perspectives. The exhibition is intensely varied but one exhibit that stood out was self-taught architect, Alice Constance Austin, whose design for a city of 10,000, Llano del Rio, from c. 1916 are particularly interesting.

Austin considered the single-family house to be one of the greatest obstacles to improving the position of women in society and reimagined how both a dwelling and a city might be reshaped / reimagined in response to such. An interesting moment in a great exhibition – check it out if you can! 

Kitchen and interior design of 310 studio’s Cedar Creek Lakehouse in Texas is progressing well!  

Phase 1 of 310 studio’s new security barrier design at the Wellcome Trust is complete and Phase 2 is underway. A high security screen with an ultra minimal presence!

310 studio’s National Hub for Research Excellence on Future AI and Robotics in Space is about to complete at the University of Surrey and is looking rather sharp. Hat’s off to the project team and Contractor Russell Cawberry. 

310 studio have been awarded planning permission for extensive remodelling and extension to their Bedminster Parade HQ in Bristol. Timber Frame, External Ceramic Wall Tiles, Jesmonite Panelling and targeting a zero-carbon build - We can’t wait to get stuck into the first phase of construction!

310 studio have been awarded another planning permission for our very own next door neighbour here on Bedminster Parade in Bristol, for a rear two storey extension and studio annex unit. Tally Ho Construction Information! 

On a recent holiday to France, Paul paid a visit to Le Corbusier’s workers housing in Pessac, near Bordeaux, all built, quite astoundingly, 93 years ago. ‘A bold and brilliant catastrophic failure’. Extraordinary! 

The steel frame is going up on 310 studio’s new-build mixed-use development at 182 Balham High Road in London which will feature five apartments over a ground floor and basement commercial unit. 

We’ve been busy researching ultra-sustainable construction practices whilst developing a feasibility study for a zero energy house within an existing Victorian carriage shed in the heart of Galway City in the West of Ireland. An extraordinary learning curve and fascinating, ever developing field of research.

310 Studio’s remodelling works to the loading bay at the Wellcome Collection, providing additional and improved space and resources for the security and administrative staff, has completed and been extremely well received by the client and all involved.

One of two rear extension and internal remodelling projects on Royal Albert Road in Bristol. This sequence shows the progress from the existing condition to the current state of build on site. 

A zinc clad dormer loft extension - Phase 1 of 310 Studio’s works to a large terraced house in Seymour Road, Bristol are complete. Phase 2 will see a zinc roofed ground floor extension built later this year.

We’ve received a large sample panel of weathering steel cladding-steel that’s designed to rust, with the rust being the final external finish. Here is how it weathered over only 18 days in our test yard!

Our two storey rear and side extension to 13 Royal Albert Road is now complete - Watch this space for new photos coming soon!

David Sproxton, one of the two founding partners of Aardman Studios, the animation Giants who brought us Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and many more, gave an extraordinary talk at the John Sebastian Light Ship and took us all on An Epic Journey indeed. Wonderful man, wonderful
work! 

We found this rather extraordinary corner at the back of the wonderful Tyntesfield House on a recent ramble around its many delights, all lovingly looked after by the National Trust. What a way to turn a corner!

310 Studio were given a tour of Wogan Coffee’s production facility last week and learnt a whole lot about Coffee - More complex than wine they say - who knew! 

3|10 studio celebrated receiving notification of no fewer than three separate successful planning awards this week, two of which were in Conservation areas. The projects included a substantial extension to a beautiful Georgian Terrace house in Donnybrook, Dublin, A Yoga Studio and Office in a conservation area in Kent and a handsome two storey rear extension in the Midlands. 

We’re very much looking forward to developing all three!

To our highly valued Colleagues, Clients, Consultants and Contractors - we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here’s to 2019…

Bespoke, slender metal handrail designed by 3|10 Studio, crafted and powder-coated by fabricators in Yorkshire. 

The minimal design creates a compliant handrail and balustrade for a tight staircase, within a loft conversion. The lines of the metalwork cast shadows onto the wall beyond, introducing contrast and drama to an otherwise simple attic space.
