Award success for PCA projects

PCA is pleased to announce that two of their projects were winners at the recent LABC Regional Building Excellence Awards.

The award ceremony was attended by 350 guests at the Crowne Plaza Plymouth on May 24.

The winner of the Best Individual New Home was Dar Gwenen. We worked with contractors Doyle & Whitley Ltd and Harrison Sutton Architects on this project to build a unique coastal home in Downderry, Cornwall.

Meanwhile, the winner of the Best Small Commercial Project was The Farmers Arms in Woolsery, Devon.

We worked alongside Anthony Branfield Carpentry & Building Ltd, Jonathan Rhind Architects, MXB Devon Operations Ltd, Hannah Lohan Interiors, Michael Grubb Studio and Rathbone Partnership to rescue a dilapidated village pub bought by tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Bebo, Michael Birch.

This project had also been highly commended at the RICS Awards, South West held on May 22.

Both projects will be entered into the LABC Grand Finals, which will take place in London on November 8.

Director Andrew Horton said: “These projects demonstrate the diversity of expertise within PCA. We are equally happy working on a conservation project as we are on a new build. We will keep our fingers crossed for the Grand Finals and extend our congratulations to all the other firms that we worked alongside on Dar Gwenen and The Farmers Arms.”
