Two award wins and three shortlists in 24 hours for Gwynfaen

On Friday night, Gwynfaen was awarded the esteemed “Sustainability Award”, at the Constructing Excellence in Wales Awards, held at the Celtic Manor .

The scheme for Pobl Group (now Codi) was also shortlisted for both the “Residential Project of the year over £5m”, and “Building Project of the year”.

The accolade follows the success of Thursday night’s “Residential Development of the year” win at the Insider Magazine Wales’ Property Awards . Gwynfaen was also nominated in the Sustainability Category.

So what makes the pioneering scheme so award winning?
– Designed by Rob Wheaton at Stride Treglown, each of the 144 ultra-low-carbon off-gas homes, were designed to maximise energy efficiency.
– One of Wales’ first IHP backed projects, Gwynfaen utilised offsite manufacturing from SO Modular Ltd.
– Constructed from Welsh timber, each home has an EPC A rating and benefits from Air Source Heat Pumps, Solar PV, EV charging and battery storage .
– Careful blend of placemaking with sustainable design.

Last week’s awards follow Gwynfaen’s success at the 2025 National Insider Housing Development Awards in London .

A special thank you to all involved with making the project such a success
