Award-Winning Low Energy Home

This stylish and expansive Dorset new build won best SIPS building at the 2023 Build It awards. With stunning far reaching views the house has a wonderful open plan feel to it.

The strong look of the black alu-clad timber windows harmonizes with the natural materials inside and the combination of the insulated timber frame and triple glazed P31A windows give a lovely comfortable living environment. Large fixed glazing elements allow the stunning views to be enjoyed to the full.

Architect: RAISE Architects

Structure: Ecologic SIPS

Windows & Doors: Norrsken

"We found Raise Architects through an online search and started by making some rough sketches of what we wanted. Our goal was always to maximize the views, and we had a clear list of rooms we needed.

We knew we wanted a well-insulated home and were considering SIPS, MVHR, and other energy-efficient measures.

The windows are brilliant, and we're so glad we went with SIPS. Our house doesn’t ever feel cold – and we have no heating upstairs. We achieved an A+ EPC rating and a 1.7 ACH air test, which we're really pleased with."
