Having won ‘Best Individual New Home’ for the South West region earlier in the year, this Salcombe cliff side property went on to win the national LABC Building Excellence award.
The LABC Building Excellence Awards is one of the most recognised B2B awards in the building control sector. Showcasing the best in technical innovations, sustainability and design. Judged by industry experts.
Constructed by Ease Manage and designed by Harrison Sutton Partnerships. With all glazing supplied and installed by Aspect Windows.
The construction of the large stunning property faced many challenges during the build. Due to its location upon the cliff edge, overlooking Salcombe. With extremely difficult access, a finely detailed home was carefully created, robust enough to stand up to the harsh marine environment.
The three-storey dwelling features; 5 bedrooms, 3 en-suites, a cinema room, 2 living rooms and an open kitchen/diner. Plus a swimming pool and wine cellar accessed via a spiral staircase.
The property’s views are enhanced from every room with large aluminium lift and slide doors. A pre-anodised paint finish protects the frames from the harsh marine environment, extremely necessary for the costal location. With triple glazing to help the building achieve a high level of thermal insulation.
LABC Chief Executive Paul Everall said: “Our Building Excellence Awards are an opportunity for the industry to celebrate good practice. Our winners demonstrate how positive working relationships with local council building control teams achieve high quality, sustainable buildings.”
The panel of expert judges said “This Salcombe project was a tour de force because of the extremely challenging cliff edge site and tortuous access.”
“Through good design and a collaborative approach to the challenges of the build, the house delivers top quality amenities, along with good sustainability. Whilst stylistically achieving a good marriage of contemporary style with a form which sits entirely comfortably in its context.”
The LABC Building Excellence Awards Grand Finals 2018 took place in London. With over 860 building industry professionals including contractors, architects and engineers attending the celebration to find out which projects won across the 15 hotly contested categories.
Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the Spindrift View project and to all the award winners.
