It has been a while since anything was posted on here but in case you haven’t heard 3form Design has officially moved into the chapel! Ian and George are still here carrying out work on the building. Outside things are looking much the same as they have the past few weeks but inside everything is…

Have You Seen the New Window?
Unfortunately it has again been a while since we last managed to write a blog post, but here we are at last with an update on the progress. Lots has happened, as you can probably guess, and we are all here waiting eagerly for the move in date to be officially decided. One thing that…
No More Concrete Carpet
The past few weeks have been tremendously busy here getting ready for the move – which has unfortunately meant that this blog has had less attention than usual. However, this does mean that we have plenty to talk about! As mentioned in the previous post, our new stained glass window is being produced by Shelagh…
The Making of the Stained Glass Window
Last week we had the pleasure of joining Shelagh Davies in her studio, at the heart of the New Forest. Shelagh is the expert stained-glass window artist who is creating the new round window at the front of the chapel, and was kind enough to invite us to see the work in progress. At her…
The Clock Will Soon Be Ticking
It is hard to keep up with the progress at the chapel right now. Things are moving along so fast that, even as this article is written, big decisions are being made rapidly here in the office. It certainly is an exciting time as we push on through the final couple of months of this…
A busy place to be
The chapel is a very busy place to be right now with a lot of different jobs happening simultaneously. Plastering has begun, electrics continue to be fitted, fire systems are being installed and lots of work is being done in preparation for the staircase installation, lighting and flooring. One of the most exciting moments recently…
What is happening with the stained glass window?
Almost everyone who has taken interest in the build has asked the same question: What are you doing about the stained glass window? Until now we have been unable to fully answer that question but after much debate and head scratching we can. The old stained glass window is in very poor condition and…
Super-club circuits, plumber punch-ups and a bit of desk sizing…
Last week saw the stud work being built, the first of the plumbing and a lot of planning being done for the electrics. Visually things are changing every day, now that we are this far into the build. We even have some temporary stairs! The stud walls have been put up in the upper-floor rear section…
A level playing field
It has been a very busy month at the chapel and the pace is continuing to quicken as we approach the end of the year. Last week saw the screed go down on the upper and lower floors which was an unusually rapid process. The screed mix that we opted for was MPA Liquid Screed…
Another Refurbishment..
The Chapel build isn’t the only thing getting a new look.. As a Product Design Consultancy, design is everything. From the way we want you to feel when you step into our office, to the motivation and inspiration our website should fill you with when you click on our logo. Which is why we have launched a BRAND NEW…
Bubblegum flavoured concrete anyone?
Now-a-days, construction companies are using scented form release agents to impart a pleasant smell in concrete, the most famous being bubble gum. We didn’t opt for this however. But now that the first floor is in place, it’s time to concrete it. Downstairs we have a beam and block combination and in order to duplicate…
Now you see it – Now you don’t
The Chapel may continue to look the same on the outside to most people, but there is a lot going on inside that you don’t see! Here’s an even closer look . Now you see it – Now you don’t.
