Today we took a step into the past and discovered the hidden wonders of an old bank. Our first discovery was the bank's main vault which was located in the basement.
To open the heavy vault door we had to turn the wheels to release the bolts. Once inside our second discovery was a smaller safe which was probably used to store the bank's cash.
Our third discovery was found in the loft space (this was my favourite). A fully working mechanical winding clock powered by weights and pulleys. What a find!
It’s now time to see if we can make new compliment old! If only all site visits were this exciting!
Which was your favourite discovery?

At JLK architects we believe research, educational visits and exposure to new ideas is the way to keep our designs fresh and relevant to our clients. This week we joined the Urban Design Group on their guided tour of Birmingham to see how a local city is addressing planning issues and mixing modern buildings with traditional ones.

​Our conservation architects have been designing sympathetic additions to a residential Victorian building in Nottinghamshire. We have referenced the Victorian detailing ​in a contemporary way resulting in a harmonious addition.

Happy easter from all at JLK Architects. Please note the office will now be closed until 11/04/23.

​Our Nottingham architects visited the ‘Homebuilding and Renovating Show’ at the NEC this week to find inspiring and sustainable products for our  Eco house clients.  We are excited to share our finds!
