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.

The Corporate LiveWire Global Awards recognize businesses and individuals who have demonstrated excellence in their respective fields. The awards are judged by an independent panel of industry experts who evaluate nominees based on their innovation, quality of service, and overall performance.

The Corporate LiveWire judging panel looks first at whether the business or firm is providing the best in its particular field in terms of quality, efficiency and delivery. The panel takes into consideration the expertise and specialisation of the individuals within the team, the client portfolio and the experience gained from representing these clients, as well as any recent notable achievements.

The judging panel was particularly impressed by the flexibility of Isabel’s architectural services; working on a huge variety of different homes and buildings while always maintaining the same level of expertise and excellence.
