New team member - Adam Williams

I was fortunate enough to begin working with unit3 at the start of September, a few months after leaving John Moores university with a 2:1 degree in Architecture. Since joining the team, I’ve began to understand how unique the practice is, both in the studio environment and in the work unit3 does for its clients. As a result, the workplace reflects the rest of Baltic Creative in being a warm and welcoming atmosphere that provides an ideal space for interactions and unique approaches. Being a member of the practice is providing me with a fantastic opportunity to learn the practical aspects of architecture, as well as to continue working in a way that I’ve enjoyed for years. The planning of spaces in the effort to create certain experiences for people is something that I’ve always enjoyed thinking about. So to be able to draw, model and see then realisation of schemes I have been a part of is an amazing thing to be working on. Three months into my time with unit3 has already given me a memorable experience and is proving to be an exciting time for the company. I’m looking forward to seeing the practice continue to grow and am thankful for the opportunity that I have to grow alongside it.

New team member - Callum Hewitt

Hello, I’m Callum Hewitt, a student of Wade Deacon High School, due to my aspirations of being an architect I have completed my two-week work experience program at Unit3. During my time at Unit3, I have been given a design project where I could advance my knowledge on a variety of software’s and then, using this gained knowledge, I could express my ideas on the project that I was given. Using these software’s, I produced a sketch-up model which virtually showed me the layout of the ‘Box Park’ I was creating. I then used CAD to create a floor plan for the design which showed me the layout of the ‘Box Park’ and whether my design where in fact realistic. Then to brand my event I created a variety of Logos on Adobe Illustrator and then picked the best, most simplistic whilst intricate one to adapt and use as the event logo. To clarify my ideas to the team I then refined the sketch-up model and added the logo, floor plan and reasoning for my ideas on a Presentation board. This was all done with through thorough support from the team at Unit3.

Also at Unit3, I was shown around the University of Liverpool and the opportunities it possessed. This really gave me an insight into where I may be soon and clarified my desire of becoming an architect. As well as this it shown me the projects of students in University and how the software’s I have recently learnt are put into use by the young prospering trainee architects.

To conclude, I cannot give enough praise to the team that have supported me during my time at work experience and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with them; having a glimpse into a possible future as an architect.

Studio in the Woods 2017

unit3 working in partnership with the University of Liverpool have launched their first ‘Studio in the Woods’ workshop which aims to give architecture students experience at building real structures using sustainable materials and traditional building techniques.

21 students from the university worked alongside unit3 in designing a bespoke shelter for the Woodland Skills Centre in Bodfari North Wales. The brief from the client was that the shelter should be muti-purpose, provide retreat from the elements, be an aesthetically pleasing design suitable for the woodlands context and have a 4m x 4m footprint.

The design created by the students included a dual pent roof with high level clerestory opening to allow light into the back of the shelter. The larch cladding used on the elevations was scorched to highlight the grain of the wood and provide a preservative finish. The build included ten 150×150 columns – the highest being over 4m in length, over 40m2 of cladding boards and 30m2 of roofing.

The team worked hard to get the structure completed in just 2 days and everyone involved had a great experience.

New team member - Laura Westlake

I am a recent architecture graduate of John Moores University and I have been very lucky coming straight from university and into unit3. Already I have learned so much and it’s amazing to be a part of the team and the interesting projects they are working on.

Having a passion for graphic art I have always experimented with different computer software’s to produce work which lead me to pursue architecture. Since joining Martin and Anthony I have worked on such a varied range of projects which is helping me to learn through practice and being able to see the real works of a practice is something I could have never experienced throughout university. Joining the team has given me great insight in to daily life with the team and I am looking forward further projects and the experience I can take with me from unit3.

unit3 are pleased to be supporting the Liverpool Young Architects with their current marketing campaign for the LYA x RIBA NW Architects Breakfast events being held in Liverpool at HUS

New Team Member - Scott Millington

I’m 20 years old and in my second year at the University of Liverpool studying architecture, and I have to admit it was the best decision I've made to date. The idea of being an architect has always been an ambition of mine since I was old enough to know what a job even was. Martin and Anthony at Unit3 have given me the chance to learn the day to day life of a functioning architectural practice whilst working for them. I completely admire the company they have both created. Combining architecture and graphic design is something I hope to do in the future as apart from architecture I have a real passion for graphic design myself. I have self taught myself Photoshop, CAD and Sketch Up believing in the idea of learning through experience. Already Unit3 has educated me with the more complex features of these software’s and how to apply them in practice. After only a few weeks I have advanced in how to make full elevations and floor plan proposals for a house and produced renders for an upcoming Albert Dock attraction. It is amazing to see how the work I generate has such an impact on a real life design, and I look forward to future projects at Unit3.

Team Ted’s Got Talent

Unit3 are proud to be supporting children's charity ‘Team Ted’ with their upcoming variety night which will raise money in support of Alder Hey Hospital Liverpool.

The event is in Ted's name - Team Ted's Got Talent, which is a variety event that will engage and inspire a core age range of 11-18 year olds from schools, colleges and grassroots organisations, by bringing together multiple artists/acts to showcase the community work and opportunities they provide.

Unit3 were asked if we could offer any help or assist with their poster and advertising campaign for the event which the team happily volunteered their time and expertise towards.

We are all sure that the event will be a great success and raise a huge amount for Alder Hey - to attend or learn more about the event or Ted, check out the links below;
