Information about this winner

The scheme provides residential courses for primary school aged children and promotes a respect for nature and sustainable living. The building is constructed from locally sourced timber and the overall use of materials is good.  The scheme replaces a number of temporary buildings, and can accommodate up to 38 residents. Sustainability has been a clear driver for the scheme, and the heat source and ventilation are both commendable.
