STA Success
On 2nd October, members of Lowfield Timber Frames attended the Structural Timber Awards. They won the ‘Social Housing Project of the Year’ category for their work on the Girton Almshouses in Cambridgeshire with Mole Architects. Lowfield and Mole Architects went on stage together to accept the award.
Dovehouse Court is a low-rise, community-centred, accessible housing development. It provides permanent housing for over-55s who can live independently within the community.
The development contains 15 energy-efficient, one-bedroom homes, suitable for couples or single residents. It includes five bungalows and two apartment buildings.
The scheme also features a new office for the charity, located next to the homes. It accommodates up to four staff and can convert into a one-bedroom bungalow if needs change.

Lowfield also reached the shortlist for another category. Members from sister company SJ Roberts Construction and Bluestone Resort Wales joined them for the ‘Contractor of the Year’ award.
