West Wales Architects

 A project in Powys, Wales, by Architect in Pembrokeshire to build new low-energy social housing was highly commended in an award for the best building projects in Wales.

The judges for Constructing Excellence in Wales were so impressed with North Wales County Council's plan that they gave a special award to the team behind the project at the ritual at Celtic Stately Home.




The council's Affordable Homes Team built the £2.0 million project in Sarn. It was the first social housing built by the local government in 15 years and the first ever to meet the strict Passivhaus standards.

The homes were built by Pave Away Building Contractors. They were designed by kenmorganarchitects with help from Passivhaus experts PYC from Welshpool and consulting civil and structural engineers Bradley Associates Ltd. from Cardiff.

The seven power homes, which were a mix of bungalows with two bedrooms and two-bedroom and three-bedroom houses, were built using low-energy methods and had green features like solar panels and mechanical heat ventilation recovery systems that cut the cost of having to run the residences for renters.

The wooden frame was made from wood grown in Wales, and the insulation was made from recycled newspaper to cut down on the use of plastics.

  Historically, hand sketches were used to produce every Architects in Narberth . Almost no architectural design starts with the original drawings being done on a computer screen nowadays, despite all the technical developments at our disposal. The best way to develop thoughts, go through ideas, explore choices, and assess various planning scenarios is still via hand sketching. The pace at which the hand drawings are created cannot be matched by a computer, and the free-flowing nature of the ideas made possible by this approach is essential to the creative process.
