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…
One Step at a Time
Last week one of the major features, that we have been extremely excited about, finally arrived – the stairs! As with most of the other aspects of the building, these stairs were custom built to Austen’s design. You can check out the video of the installation below. 3fD Chapel – Installing the Front Staircase from…
Choosing the Stained Glass and Making an Entrance
The past few weeks at the chapel have seen many changes take place. The plastering is almost complete and as a result the interior is now looking amazing. Outside the ground work is underway and the brick walls making up bin enclosure has been finished. Today, Shelagh Davies came with her assistant, Barrie, to measure…
Another Brick in the Wall
There is a lot of work happening inside the chapel but, as you may have noticed, the exterior is also getting a lot of attention now. More of the aluminium cladding has been fitted, the ground works are underway and the brick enclosure at the front of the building is well on its way to…
A busy place to be

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.
Rooms for Improvement
With the steel beams being placed downstairs, you can really see the shape of the rooms come to life and start to imagine each one fully equipped and ready for business. But if you still can’t quite see it yet, take a look at the pictures below for some inspiration. And in each steel beamed room… With…
