Well here we are, back in the Atrium in our sexy yellow gilets. That waffy brown plastic drainpipe is NOT part of Gabi's design, though with her Modernist tendencies she might want to keep it.
The lower floor here will be the Museum shop and the floor above the café, looking across to the keep wall and the Bigod Tower (previously hidden for centuries).
The floor above that will be the Education Centre, where schoolkids can gaze at the newly exposed castle walls and learn about mediæval grossness.
I must say I'm chuffed with the structural glass beams; much better than great big ugly old steels.
We do get the occasional blue sky here in Norfolk, though at this time of year it means it's bitterly cold.
More soon …

I just love seeing your pictures, Dive, because I always like to see how things are stuck together. I have no architectural tendencies because I can't imagine things in 3D. Nor could I be an engineer because, well, no math or geometry skills. I just wanna tag along to watch and marvel at the work you guys do.
At least things are now beginning to take shape, Speedway. Not many more months to go before the keep will be ready.
It's all very exciting to see!
Those structural glass beams are definitely worth chuffing over! What an elegant solution. So cool to see your photos and can't wait for further updates!
Petrea, it's even more exciting to be there ... albeit noisy, dusty and cold.
More soon, Katie. I must say the glass beams were a great decision; steel or timber would have obscured the view.
