Bathrooms - C and I on the plan

We've had a few people questioning where the floorplan/elevations are for C and I are.

These are BATHROOMS, and we've eliminated these from the brief as we felt there was too much work to expect you to design these rooms  - so we haven't included these as elevations as they aren't required.

Remember to leave £10k for these from the budget

That's one less thing to worry about!!

Welcome!

We're delighted to welcome students from Nottingham Trent, Oxford Brookes, South Essex college of Higher and Further education, Teeside University and Edinburgh College of Art who have entered the NDA National design award competition!

Hello everyone and welcome to the NDA National Design Award 2011 blog. Here you'll find all the information you need about this exciting competition!

If you think you have what it takes to be crowned NDA National Designer of 2011 check out the brief page at the top of the blog which outlines the terms and conditions of the competition, what you will be required to design and how to present it, who will be judging your entry and of course the amazing prize one lucky winner will receive.

To accurately create your penthouse design we've created a short 3D CAD video simulation of the penthouse which is also on YOUTUBE . As well as the video, there are photographs of the interior of the apartment, 3D exterior visuals and scaled floor plans of the rooms you need to design. If you want to print the floor plans you will need to visit our website www.nda.ac.uk/competitions. 

It's important the plans are printed in A3 otherwise the scaling of your designs will not be correct.

We look forward see all your wonderful designs. Good Luck and bookmark us for regular updates and announcements!
