Camel Receives Schuco Excellence award
Camel Group Receives The Schuco Excellence Award 2021
Camel Group were the winners of the individual house award, for Kyrchil, a contemporary bungalow.
The bright and efficient contemporary bungalow was designed by DMW Architects. The living spaces are grouped together on the south side of the plan, while bedrooms/ bathrooms occupy an adjoining northern half in black granite or dark sandstone brick with light grey accents for warmth. Intended to complement its rural context–and also offer privacy when desired -the material palette includes lichen-green standing seam zinc roofing; treated hardwood cladding along interior walls.
The architect worked closely with specialist glazing contractor Camel Glass to develop bespoke details, such as 90-degree glass-to-glass junctions and other unique aspects. This included the design of a clerestory which meant that these units were pushed beyond their limits in terms of height allowance during construction; all while maintaining light diffusion for an optimal visual experience inside!
