Freshmill Forum is a monthly event that brings together our members and the wider local business community to share practical knowledge and connect with one another.

Each session features a short, 20-30 minute presentation from a Freshmill member on a transferrable skill, as well as an opportunity to meet new faces and network with the local business community.  It also goes without saying that what Freshmill event would be complete without excellent freshly ground coffee and a selection of delicious cakes on offer!

For this event, we will be joined by Mike Bell from Fab Architecture, alongside Emma Buchan and Emily Hatton from Buchan Rum Architects. Both firms are based here at Freshmill and regularly collaborate, supporting one another when needed.

Mike runs a small residential-focused architecture practice established in 2017, working across East and West Sussex. He works with families to transform their homes, creating inspirational, practical and beautiful spaces that improve everyday life.  Buchan Rum Architects was founded in June 2018. The design-led studio works across residential and commercial architecture, masterplanning, landscaping, planning, and interior design. Based in Mid-Sussex, the practice responds local traditions, creating timeless designs with natural materials and consistently high standards.

In this talk, Emma, Emily and Mike will focus on small scale residential projects and their experiences working with families to help create new homes and adapt existing ones. They will be demystifying the architectural design and construction process, and explore the question:

"What should I ask when speaking with an architect for the first time?”

Residents of Freshmill and those who hold a contract are welcome to just come along. If you are not and would like to attend, please click on the link below to book your complimentary ticket. Numbers are limited so we encourage you to apply promptly to secure your place.
