Roses Awards Winners
Dualchas Building Design has won the Architecture Grand Prix at this year’s Roses Awards, held in Manchester.
The houses in Tokavaig and Bridge of Orchy were described by the judges as “outstanding”, and beat competition from much larger practices from across the UK.
The houses also won 2 golds in the Low budget category.
Speaking after the ceremony, held in Manchester’s Hilton Hotel, Dualchas architect Alasdair Stephen said,
“We are delighted that it was recognised that work which is relatively modest in its scale and budget, can compete with some of the country’s more visible projects when it comes to quality and importance.
“With many predicting a recession and money being tight, we hope that we can show that good quality design is still a valuable investment for the future.”
Shortlisted entries to the awards included work by world-renowned architect Norman Foster, designer of Wembley Stadium and Hong Kong airport.
The Roses Awards is an annual competition open to design and architecture companies outside the M25 boundary. It was held at the Hilton Hotel on Thursday the 16th of October, with over 400 people in attendance.
The client for the renovation and extension of the house in Bridge of Orchy was Mrs Susan Barnwell, and the house in Tokavaig is the home of Dualchas architect Mary Arnold Forster.
Dualchas Building Design is based on the Isle of Skye and in Glasgow, and are currently undertaking work in the private and public sector from as far afield as Banchory, Arran and the Western Isles.
