The Overall Winner for the Angus Design Awards 2006 was:

Trophies were awarded to the client, designer/architect and main contractor. The eco-friendly house was unanimously voted as the overall winner by the judging panel. The construction of the house using untreated Douglas Fir with soft wood panelling, the exterior clad in untreated larch and the use of hemp for insulation along with under-floor heating, solar panels and the most made out of natural sunlight all added to the merits of the house.
