people & Teams... Voigt Architects celebrates exciting projects

It’s all systems go at Arbroath based Voigt Architects Limited as the firm gets stuck into some exciting projects. Current projects for the Chartered Architects Practice include a large housing and industrial development in Carnoustie working with DJ Laing Homes Limited; a new visitor centre for Arbikie Distillery in Angus, a large housing development at Seaview Manor in Monifieth including the refurbishing of a stunning listed building; contemporary apartments in Carnoustie overlooking the golf course; some bespoke private houses in the countryside and working with local developer Discovery Homes to create revolutionary offsite eco houses that can be constructed on site in a matter of weeks. Established in May 2018, the new practice was formed by the original directors and staff originally from The Voigt Partnership Limited following the untimely death of the Managing Director, Heinz Voigt, who sadly passed away in December 2017. The new practice is dedicated to his memory and is endeavouring to continue his legacy. The team have recently completed some great Projects in the local area: new office premises for Angus Soft Fruits; a high

spec office and lab refurbishment for GSK in Montrose and the Leaf Room at Ninewells Hospital which won a national award last year from the Scottish Civic Trust for the best Public Space in Scotland.

Voigt Architects are currently in a transition period with one of their director’s recently retiring, but the current young, highly motivated staff are increasing their roles within the practice to take things forward for the future.

Team Therapy in Good Shape Recently formed training company Shape Therapy know a thing or two about the benefits of complementary team dynamics. The diverse backgrounds of the current five members of the Shape team has created a synergy which ensures the smooth running of their four-hour workshops. Robert is a Counsellor & Psychotherapist and has studied the ‘hard science’ of some of the key principles of the training, lending itself to his facilitation of the workshops. He is also involved in the writing of the modules in a real collaboration with Neil, who has a background in complementary therapies, making him a natural for delivering the sessions along with Robert. Vicki worked for many years in healthcare, in auxiliary and dental nursing, and is now a Swedish massage therapist. She also DACC • CONNECTED | WINTER 2019

greatly supports the rest of the Shape team through her networking activities. Peter has been a salesperson for over 20 years and is now a keen student learning the ropes from Neil and Robert in training delivery. He is also a ‘mature’ university student, in 2nd Year of a BA in Health & Social Studies. His fellow student in the Shape team is Lewis, who is in

3rd Year, studying for an MA in Psychology. Lewis has a background in e-Commerce and supports all the team’s online requirements. So, whilst the Shape Therapy training largely comes from evidence-based science, there is very much a complementary feel between the team members. Now, that’s what you call teamwork!
