Yr Ysgwrn, Gwynedd
Surveyor: Cavendish Bloor
Architect: Purcell UK
Developer/Contractor: Grosvenor

Owner/Client: Snowdonia National
Park Authority
Nominated by: Purcell UK
Yr Ysgwrn is a cultural symbol for the
people of Wales. It is a simple 19th century
farmstead, yet represents the life and
achievements of one of Wales’ most
famous poets, Ellis Humphrey Evans who
is better known by his bardic name Hedd
Wyn. The farmhouse at the centre of the
site was home to Hedd Wyn until his death
in First World War, when he was famously
posthumously awarded the prestigious
Bard’s Chair at the National Eisteddfod of
Wales.

The judges said
This scheme of conservation tastefully and carefully restores the historic
farmhouse and artefacts on display including the black chair originally carved
in wood by a Belgian WW1 refugee Eugeen Vanfleteren. It also radically
improves the traditional agricultural outbuildings which were derelict or semi
derelict in order to create a comfortable and spacious visitor centre.
The scheme takes Yr Ysgwrn to a new level of accessibility and positions it
correctly as a site of the highest national importance with international
significance.

The judges said
This project was community focussed from its inception. A partnership
between the housing co-operative members, housing association, local
authority and contractor, the residents were involved in every step of the
design & construction process leading up to completion of what has become
the housing association’s first tenant managed scheme. With properties
designed to lifetime home standards with tenant input, the householders
were able to begin building their community before occupation setting a
template that can be rolled out throughout the country.

The judges said
This project is innovative, adaptable and evolving. It takes the latest
advances in construction, solar power, battery and associated technologies
and combines them into a comfortable, easily useable and flexible building.
The techniques used are particularly suited to commercial, domestic,
educational, health care uses and could be adapted to use across the
spectrum of construction including retro-fitting of some of the technologies.

Buildings are responsible for approximately
half of UK CO2 emissions. The ‘buildings
as power stations’ concept offers a
solution to this problem by creating
buildings that generate, store and release
their own solar power within the building.
The only way to prove this is to construct
buildings that demonstrate the concept.
Hence the construction of the Active
Classroom.
The building utilises a novel lightweight
structure of steel framed panels,
manufactured off-site, and is clad in steel
panels with brand new coatings developed
by Tata Steel. The colours selected, were

The Active Classroom is one of those rare projects that embodies the concept
of innovation. It offers a clear path to the future of construction and power
generation in the same package. It offers a “flat pack” building system that
could be erected speedily almost anywhere with little need for the groundwork

it points a way forward for domestic and commercial construction with an
adaptable and rapidly constructed modular system that lends itself to use in
virtually any part of the world. It is quite reasonable to state that the
development of this technology offers life changing benefits for all.
