Ris

[Jack Hughes]

Just had a tour round "The Hive" in Worcester by the proud owners.

It amused me being inside Ris's handiwork, especially in a small world kind of way

It certainly is clad with lots of coppery goodness.

And it's a bit of a talking point in the City - everyone has an opinion

Ah yes I remember being shown the pics at the Relays Well done, nice to have something like that to point to and say I did that

I can't take any credit for the overall design or the interior, but can accept blame for the gold. We've been enjoying the post-occ side (fettling/mandering the building to get it to work properly - looks like it's now tuned right). Love to hear your opinion on it - I'm taking the family up next weekend for the first time.
Hope you liked it, certainly a polarising building!

I saw this last week on the train taking me to running up, along & over the Malvern Hills...and thought of you. It looks as though the gold is weathering in a little, which I assume may assuage the anti brigade a bit. looks like a fine building from the train.

It cost too much.

Where is the value engineering.....COPPER??? SUBSTITUTE.....use zinc

Just about the only job I've worked on where the budget seemed ok (what does that say about pfi?!). Bloody lucky to have a nice, prominent, un-VE-able material like copper-alloy gold. Came down to earth on the next job, though!
