We collaborated with Stahmlopes Architects to design semi-detached houses in Bad Honnef
The houses were divided into four units and cleverly adapted to the steep slope of the site
providing residents with private outdoor spaces and beautiful views
creating a harmonious connection between the building and its surroundings
the design offers an attractive living environment that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal
Kevin Attard may soon become the first Maltese to complete a triple Ironman challenge – but he’s keeping his feet on the ground about his chances
I feel ready and confident that I can actually make it
but in reality I still to have to keep in mind that anything can happen during the race and it can go either way,” said Mr Attard
as he neared the end of a gruelling training regime
known officially as the annual Triple Ultra Triathlon
swim another 11.4 kilometres and cycle a distance of 540 kilometres – all within 58 hours
“I believe that if everything goes as planned
I will be able to cover all the distances in about 52 to 55 hours,” he says
adding that it would be a huge honour to become the first-ever Maltese to complete the race
I will be able to cover all the distances in about 52 to 55 hours
he has been training for the last four years
the triple Ironman race has been his sole aim
The intense training took a toll on his emotional well-being and on his social life
The standard training programme for such a race has athletes training for four hours a day
While on some days he might only train for two hours
For me the physical aspect of it all is the least difficult part
You give up your social life when you take up such a challenge
The only time I get to spend with my friends is when they come over and train with me to keep me company,” Mr Attard said
A good support system is crucial – three friends will be travelling with him to Germany for moral support
“I have followed the training programme closely and believe I am very well prepared
I just hope to return home and be able to say that I have completed the triple Ironman challenge.”
