Articles, awards & more
Designing and detailing homes and other buildings that far exceed our clients expectations and dreams is a key component of what, and why, we do what we do, but it is always nice to get additional recognition in the form of awards, articles, features and publications.
Our projects and designs are constantly being featured in magazine and newspaper articles, within book publications and on television programmes, including twice on Channel 4’s Grand Designs, and more recently on Alan Cummings Paradise Homes.
As well as the features and appearances we have had, over the years, the practice has also won over 30 regional and national awards, including ‘Best Self Build Architect’, ‘Best Residential Designer’, ‘Best Traditional Style Self-Build Home’, ‘Best Individual New Home’, ‘Best Eco Home Award’, ‘Best Oak Frame Home’ and in 2009, one of our houses was voted Britain’s Best Home on Channel 5.
On each project case study page you will find their magazine articles, but features on ‘other’ key projects can be viewed below:
