Net Zero Home Finalist for Two Architecture Awards

February 16, 2024 / aoife / 0 Comments

We are delighted to have our ‘Net Zero Home’ project shortlisted in two categories of the Building and Architect of the Year Awards 2024.

Our project is a finalist for two awards:

Single House Building of the Year
Sustainability Award for a Single Building or Development

The Building and Architecture of the Year Awards celebrate architectural excellence in both building and design. They serve as a platform for architects and their buildings, spanning a diverse range of architectural styles across residential, public, commercial, and cultural sectors, allowing for thorough evaluation and appraisal.

This project is strongly related to the landscape, and uses a contemporary language influenced by traditional elements and materials.

One of the main goals was to achieve net zero carbon emissions. All the material choices and construction processes were meticulously aligned with this objective.
