Snug work placements 2017


Over the last 2 weeks and earlier in the year Snug has played host to four work experience students; Matthew, Dan, Jonah and Anna, all from different schools and at different points in their education - GCSE and AS Level. Each student was given the same 'lose' brief of creating a small off grid living pod for a quarry site in Cornwall. The brief came from SPUD Youth Group, a local architectural youth group which a member of our team helps out with regularly.
The project allowed the students to form their own project briefs from a rough client brief presented to them at the start of the week, then work through the initial project stages and produce their own proposals, all in a week. Each student was mentored through the week they spent with us but effectively worked independently to research, analysis, and create their designs. A final deadline was given to the students for the end of the week to present their designs and research to a few of the Snug team, including one of our Directors - as a mock 'crit' or client presentation.
Each student produced brilliantly creative designs and very impressive bodies of work for the short time they had. Most are going forward and seeking to progress with a career in architecture and we are greatly excited to see what these impressive young people come up with in the future!
