About Roundhouse Architecture
I am a Chartered Architectural Technologist and director of Roundhouse Architecture Ltd.
I wish to share my experience in the field of architecture but also from a practical perspective having learned from my own trial and error and having gained valuable advice from others.
The first article I wish to write about and share is Conical Roof Slating and I hope this is of interest to readers.
You can view images which are regularly update on our website at http://www.roundhousearchitecture.com
or our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Roundhouse-Architecture-Ltd/149795131744042
I hope you enjoy the article as much as I have enjoyed the experience.
