Publisher’s Announcements Our 26th Competition for Architectural Students FOR ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS. We offer a prize of £1 Is., and a second prize of 10s. 6d. for the best two solutions of the following problem:— Competitors are to suppose a client to have purchased a cottage in a town on a corner section, drawings of which appear on page 1165 of this issue. The purchasei has consulted an architect who advises him that the house is well built, is worthy of considerable expenditure of money for its size, and that it can be converted into an up-to-date bungalow. Competitors must turn over in their minds what can be done to make the house a thing of beauty, and improve the planning arrangements- to give two additional rooms. A large and comfortable living-room is required, which must be a good feature. Students may use their own judgment as to how additions can be effected. The roof is now covered with iron (in good enough condition to be left), but other roofing may be suggested by competitors if they think same can be used without causing the work to be too extravagant in price. Outbuildings to be enlarged to take a motor. Provide for drainage to connect with sewer in North Street.
