Nether Cowieswells by HYVE Architects announced as the Winner of the 2018 VELUX Roof Window Award Nether Cowieswells in Crawton, Aberdeenshire – designed by HYVE Architects – has been named the winner of the 2018 VELUX Roof Window Award. Judged by a panel of some of the UK’s leading architects, this exciting competition sought to reward inventive, modern designs that use VELUX roof window products. HYVE Architects will receive £2,000 in prize money and a VELUX curved glass rooflight to use in their next project.   HYVE Architects’ beautiful bothy conversion in Crawton was the unanimous favourite of this year’s judging panel. Using VELUX roof windows in the original structure’s gable, HYVE Architects were able to achieve maximum light deep into the converted space.       Jane Duncan, former president of the RIBA, said Nether Cowieswells is “the most simple and elegant of remodelling projects which subtly introduces the wonderful local light through VELUX roof windows to enhance the clarity of the spaces.”    The 2018 VELUX Roof Window Award attracted entries from across the length and breadth of UK and Ireland. It has demonstrated a real drive by architecture and design firms to create better living environments by bringing daylight and fresh air into people’s homes. At VELUX, we are very proud to have been a part of them all. For more information on the 2018 VELUX Roof Window Awards, please visit  designcompetition.velux.co.uk. 69
