Hey all.
Finally decided to register, as the lack of viewable pictures in some of the threads was just too much to resist
.
I have been into designing garages / workshops / commercial buildings etc etc from when I was small, and in the end I decided that it was more of a hobby than anything else at the time, and haven't really pursued it much further. Now on finishing my Degree at University, Im having second thoughts about where I go next.
Is there a commercial market or even an existing "job" for someone who isnt an "architect" as such or a "structural engineer", but someone who understands what people want in a workshop, and can translate that to what an architect needs to know, taking into account expansion, local weather, budgets, and usage etc etc.
I may be trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but judging by a lot of peoples headaches and heartaches on their projects, and some of the horror stories and "you ****" stories, it seems to me like there might be something.
Of course the UK doesn't have many/any real huge personal barns / workshops / garages / man caves and for all my cool thoughts I have, I should have been born in the US/Canada, but do I have a hope in hell?
Someone please make sense of my spontaneously combusting and utterly nosensical thought patterns?
cheers
Dunc
